Features
Ultra-stable
The No. 1 Performance Worldwide*1 for Even More Applications
Best Performance in the World*1
Three Technologies That Support High Performance
*1. For performance (sensing distance and minimum sensing object) based on November 2013 OMRON investigation.
*2. Compared with E3X-HD.
*3. Infrared models (E3NX-FAH) are not equipped with GIGA RAY2S.
*4. Compared with E3X-HD for normal operation processing.
*5. Model with 1 output: 30 μs, model with 2 outputs: 32 μs.
Ultra-easy
Easily Handle a Wide Range of Applications with the Press of a Single Button
Consistent Settings for All Users
Smart Tuning Settings [PAT]
Automatic Adjustment to Optimum Incident Level
Wide Light Intensity Adjustment Range from Transparent Objects to Black Workpieces
Wider light intensity adjustment range of 40,000 times (Conventional models*2: 2,000 times) You can automatically adjust the light intensity to an optimum value for stable detection even with saturated or insufficient incident light.
*2. E3X-HD
Ultra-reliable
Two Decision Support Functions to Help You
Visual Displays of the Passing Time and Difference in Incident Levels.
Solution Viewer [PAT]
Selecting Fiber Units
Just about anyone can make a quantitative decision without special skills.
Setting Optimum Thresholds and Modes
You can see the passing time and difference in incident levels to facilitate manual setup.
Visual Information for Fast Workpieces
Change Finder [PAT]
You can confirm changes in displayed values for fast workpieces to accurately set the threshold.
Point
Advanced DPC (Dynamic Power Control) [PAT]
Predictive Maintenance to Reduce Downtime
An alarm output* has been added to the DPC that automatically compensates differences in the incident level. A maintenance signal is output when the incident level drops due to dirt or vibration for use in predictive maintenance. (We recommend DPC for through-beam or retro-reflective models.)
*An alarm output is supported only on models with two outputs.
