The Panasonic Industrial Automation EX-13B is a beam-through photoelectric sensor from the EX-10 series, designed for precise object detection in industrial automation applications. It features a sensing distance of 500 mm (19.685") and operates with a supply voltage range of 12–24 V. Equipped with a red LED light source and an NPN open-collector output with dark-on operation, it delivers fast response times of 500 µs for accurate detection. The sensor connects via a 2-meter (78.74") cable and is rated IP67, ensuring resistance to dust and water ingress. Operating reliably within a temperature range of -25°C to 55°C, the EX-13B provides robust performance in demanding environments. In North America, Europe, Asia, and worldwide industrial systems, its implementation may possibly be ideal for automation setups requiring precise, durable, and high-speed object sensing.
