Alleviates interference without slits, allowing close-spaced installation

With about half the light diffusion of previous models, narrow-beam models can be placed twice as closely together-without the added cost of purchasing and installing slits.

Detects minute objects with a diameter of just 0.5 mm 0.020 in, without slits [EX-11S□]

With about half the light diffusion of previous models, narrow-beam models can detect minute objects with a diameter of just 0.5 mm <span class="inch">0.020 in</span>, without slits.
These models provide a reasonably-priced solution for applications requiring detection of minute objects.
