EW1A Assist Wheel Drive

Integrated electric motorized wheel eases transport of heavy loads

Overview


As automation demands increase, sensing technology must adapt to stricter space constraints, higher precision, and faster response requirements. IDEC’s SA1N Subminiature Photoelectric Sensor addresses these needs with its ultra compact design and built-in amplifier, eliminating the space typically required for separate components. Its durable construction ensures reliable performance even in harsh environments, while adjustable sensitivity simplifies setup. From counting components to positioning tasks, the SA1N is a compact powerhouse engineered to excel in modern industrial applications.











 

 

Key Features


Subminiature photoelectric sensors use wires so they can be bent freely

Because it is an electric wire, there is no need to worry about it breaking like with fiber optic sensors. The advantage of the SA1N Subminiature photoelectric sensor is that it is easy to install and reduces the replacement costs incurred if the sensor breaks.


This small sensor allows you to adjust the sensitivity

The SA1N Subminiature photoelectric sensor is equipped with a sensitivity adjustment volume. It can be set according to the type of workpiece and distance. This increases the flexibility of sensor installation.


Built-in amplifier type saves total space

Although some fiber optic sensors are compact, they still require space to install an amplifier. The SA1N mini photoelectric sensor has a built-in amplifier, so there is no need to consider where to install the amplifier.


Easy to Install size

The mini-sized body makes it possible to install it in applications where fiber sensors were previously installed. Also, drilling holes directly into the housing for installation reduces labor and costs.
