Omron E3S Series Photoelectric Sensor, 100mm to 300mm Detection Range, NPN Output - E3SR12


This photoelectric sensor, designed for industrial applications, features a compact block style. Incorporating a PBT housing, it operates effectively in diverse environments with an IP67 rating, ensuring durability against dust and moisture. With a detection range of 100mm to 300mm, it is ideal for sensing transparent objects, such as glass and plastic bottles. The device utilises an infrared LED as its light source and supports a maximum current of 100mA with an NPN output.

Features & Benefits


• Excellent detection range of 100mm to 300mm for versatile usage
• Infrared LED sensor ensures high sensitivity for transparent items
• NPN output sensor allows easy integration into existing systems
• IP67 rated sensor guarantees protection against water and dust
• Robust PBT housing material enhances longevity in industrial settings

Applications


• Used for detecting transparent bottles in production lines
• Ideal for sensing glass wafers in electronics manufacturing
• Used in LCD glass circuit board
• Utilised in automated sorting systems for clear containers
• Suitable for quality control processes involving transparent materials

How does the response time impact performance in fast-paced environments?


A response time of 1ms allows the device to quickly detect the presence of objects, making it suitable for high-speed applications where timing is crucial, enhancing overall throughput.

What should be considered when integrating the sensor with existing systems?


Ensure that the sensor’s NPN output aligns with the system requirements, and verify that the power supply falls within the 10 to 30 VDC range to prevent overheating or damage to the unit.

How does the IP67 rating influence the sensor's usability in tough conditions?


An IP67 rating signifies robust protection against dust and immersion in water, making the sensor reliable for use in harsh environments like factories, where exposure to elements can compromise other sensors.

What materials can this sensor effectively detect without issues?


It is designed specifically for transparent objects like glass and plastic, but variations in material thickness and shape might affect its performance, emphasising the need for testing before application.
