Omron simplifies machine design

January 2011 Sensors & Transducers

Omron’s E3Z sensor family offers a unique solution to sensor selection, which can dramatically simplify machine design. The E3Z family provides a solution for sensor applications in all environments, with a single connection method and mounting design. This level of standardisation reduces the number of different sensor designs, mounting and connection methods required on machinery, saving time and costs. The E3Z family is one of industry’s best selling photoelectric sensor family, offering a competitive solution with proven reliability.

E3Z – General Purpose is supplied in a high impact plastic housing protected to IP67/69 with shielding for EMI immunity.

E3Z – Laser provides a visible beam of laser light to enable precision positioning and small object detection. Units are also equipped with background suppression with low black/white error.

E3ZM – Stainless Steel Range is supplied in a high grade stainless steel housing with detergent resistance and IP67/69K protection for use in hygienic applications.

E3zM-B is supplied in a stainless steel housing and designed to detect transparent objects.

E3ZM-V Mark sensor is supplied in a stainless steel housing and equipped with white LED for stable detection of coloured marks.
