Panasonic EX-L212-J – Amplifier Built-in Ultra-compact Laser Sensor, Thru-beam type, 3 m, NPN. It belongs to the Panasonic Amplifier Built-in Ultra-compact Laser Sensor EX-L200 series.
Laser sensors use a visible, small laser spot, so the beam can be aimed precisely at small objects or through narrow openings; the amplifier is built into the sensor head.
