Explanation

① Light Convergent Reflective Sensor (B5W-LB)

We offer a range of sensors capable of detecting the open/closed status of doors.Please refer to the features and application examples of each product to support your issue resolution and product selection.

Application Example

■Application: Vending Machines

The sensor enables stable detection of various door open/closed states. The B5W-LB Series is less affected by the material, color, and surface condition of the target (workpiece), and supports detection of a wide range of door types.

In addition to reducing costs by minimizing the number of mechanical components, the wide detection range also allows flexible handling of positional variations during door assembly.

② Photomicrosensors (EE-SX Series)

This sensor detects the presence or absence of an object in the slot between the emitter and receiver. A wide product lineup is available to meet various application requirements.

Application Example

■Application: Electronic Lockers

The sensor detects a shutter plate mounted on the cover, enabling confirmation of the door’s open/closed status.
