SKU: N/A

Omron produce industrial sensors range such as fiber sensors, photoelectric sensors, displacement sensors/ measurement sensors, proximity sensors, photomicro sensors and rotary encodes.

Features

Simplicity

Omron’s compact E3FA series of photoelectric sensors is simple and quick to mount, as well as easy and intuitive to set-up. The large and robust adjuster makes life much easier for installers to adjust the sensor, as does the bright, high-power red LED, which is clearly visible for easy alignment, even over longer distances. Similarly, the sensor’s LED status indicator can be viewed from long distances and wide angles.

E3FA, E3RA, E3FB, E3RB Features 3

Compact size and shape. Can be installed almost anywhere.

E3FA, E3RA, E3FB, E3RB Features 4

Visible LED light for easy alignment.

E3FA, E3RA, E3FB, E3RB Features 5

Bright LED indicators for the easy operational status checking.

E3FA, E3RA, E3FB, E3RB Features 6

Flush mounting option for smooth installation.

One family for all

Typically installed in industrial plants ranging from food and beverage, textiles, ceramics and brick production, through to logistics, there’s always an E3FA model to fit your application.
This extensive photoelectric sensor series with high reliability and enhanced performance includes through-beam, retro-reflective and diffuse reflective types in straight and radial versions. Straight versions are also available with background-suppression, limited-reflective detection, and transparent object detection types for special applications.
All models are available in plastic and metal housing.

Application specific models

E3FA, E3RA, E3FB, E3RB Features 9

Limited-reflective types suitable for detecting transparant film to shiny, mirror film.

E3FA, E3RA, E3FB, E3RB Features 10

Transparent object detection types utilising Omron’s unique technology for detecting objects with birefringent (double refraction) properties.

E3FA, E3RA, E3FB, E3RB Features 11

Background suppression types for the stable detection of different objects with various colours.

Non-stop detection

Especially designed for machines that never stop, the rugged E3FA series offers completely reliable sensing in a robust and waterproof housing that can withstand even high-pressure cleaning. Exceeding market standards, this series also has high EMC protection and light immunity. In addition, there is the added benefit of the high-power LED, which contributes to high sensing stability even in environments with dust or vibrations.

E3FA, E3RA, E3FB, E3RB Features 13

High power LED to compensate for dirt and misalignment.

E3FA, E3RA, E3FB, E3RB Features 14

Pulse synchronisation for high ambient light immunity.

* IP69K Degree of Protection Specifications
IP69K is a protection specification stipulated by DIN 40050 Part 9 of the German standards.
The test item is sprayed with 80°C water from a nozzle of a specified shape at a water pressure of 80 to 100 bar. The amount of water is 14 to 16 liters per minute.
The distance between the test item and the nozzle is 10 to 15 cm. The water is discharged at angles of 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° from the horizontal plane for 30 seconds at each angle while the test item is rotated horizontally.
