The Panasonic EX-26B is a ultra-compact Photoelectric Sensor: Ultra-compact Photoelectric Sensor, Convergent reflective (Small spot beam type), NPN.
Photoelectric sensors detect objects without contact by means of a light beam; thru-beam types (separate emitter and receiver) give the longest range and the most stable detection, while retroreflective and diffuse types need wiring on one side only.
