Technical Overview

The Omron ZX-EDR5T is a highly accurate, magnetic-inductive smart displacement sensor head from the ZX-E series. Featuring an ultra-compact 3mm diameter cylindrical nickel-plated brass housing, this sensor is engineered for the precise displacement measurement of metallic objects in tight spaces. It delivers an exceptional 1 µm resolution over a 0 to 0.5 mm sensing distance, paired with a rapid 150 µs response time. Designed to operate with the ZX-EDA amplifier, it allows for simple linearity compensation which can be easily adjusted for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and SUS. With an IP65 protection rating and an operating temperature range of 0 to +50 °C, the ZX-EDR5T is an ideal solution for harsh industrial environments, including automotive manufacturing and precision metalworking machinery.

Industrial Applications

1. Precision CNC Spindle Runout Monitoring

Deploying the high-resolution sensor near the rotational axis of high-speed machine tool spindles to continuously monitor dynamic displacement and mechanical runout.

Problem Solved

Detects minute mechanical deviations and eccentricity in real-time before they cause out-of-tolerance cuts, preventing machining defects and costly downtime.

2. Metal Sheet Thickness and Double-Feed Verification

Utilizing the sensor's precision and material linearity adjustment capabilities to verify the thickness of very thin sheet metals, including non-ferrous materials like aluminum, as they enter a stamping press.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the risk of catastrophic stamping die damage by accurately identifying multiple sheets fed simultaneously or out-of-spec stock material.

3. Hydraulic Valve Spool Positional Feedback

Integrating the ultra-compact 3mm diameter sensor head directly into custom manifold assemblies to measure the stroke displacement of metallic valve spools.

Problem Solved

Provides precise closed-loop positional feedback for proportional flow control in industrial hydraulics, where space is severely restricted and an IP65 protection rating is necessary against oil exposure.
