E3Z Compact, Self-Amplified Photoelectric Sensors… a Sensor for Every Application
Omron’s E3Z product line is among the world’s most popular and successful photoelectric sensors. Omron continues to expand the E3Z product line (7 sensing categories and counting) with a goal to provide a sensor to meet any photoelectric detection challenge in the industrial automation market.
What are the key features shared between all E3Z product types?
- Compact Size (31 H x 10.8 W 20 D mm) – In the self-amplified, compact sensor category, the E3Z is the smallest in the industry and is ideal for tight or confined locations. The requirement for compact sensors has become a point of emphasis for machine designers as component space is at a premium.
- High noise immunity against interference from inverters and other inductive loads - Customers can count on less sensor down-time for maintenance as the e3Z will perform under the most demanding of electrical noise circumstances
- Unique integrated curcuit design with advanced LED – The emitter and receiver performance of the E3Z sensors has among the highest gain output in the industry permitting detection over long distances or in dirty or dusty environments
- IP67 or IP69k housing ratings – All E3Z (plastic) models are rated to match requirements for 1200 psi washdown applications; All E3ZM (Stainless Steel) models are rated IP69K to match 1450 psi washdown applications as well as providing optimum resistance to potential damage related to chemicals or detergents.
E3Z sensors are available in the 7 following categories:
- General Purpose Sensing Solutions
- Background/Foreground Suppression Sensing Solutions
- Sensing Solutions for Packaging
- Sensing Solutions for Chemical Washdown
- Oil Resistant Sensing Solutions
- Color/Mark Sensing Solutions
- Preventative Maintenance Sensing Solutions
