Description
The Omron E3S-CL1 and E3S-CL series are high-performance distance-settable photoelectric sensors designed for industrial automation. These sensors feature a unique optical system that allows users to manually set the detection distance, eliminating background interference and providing stable detection regardless of the color or material of the target object. With a robust metal housing and IP67 protection rating, they are ideal for harsh industrial environments. The E3S-CL1 model offers a sensing distance of up to 200 mm with red LED light, while the E3S-CL2 variant extends to 500 mm with infrared light. They support both NPN and PNP outputs, with selectable Light-ON/Dark-ON operation modes.
Key Features
- Distance-Settable Technology: Unique optical system allows manual setting of detection distance to eliminate background influence.
- Color-Independent Detection: Stable detection regardless of object color or material (black/white error ≤ 2%).
- Robust Construction: Metal housing with IP67 protection, suitable for harsh environments.
- Flexible Output: NPN/PNP open collector output (selectable by model or switch).
- Easy Adjustment: 6-turn endless adjuster with indicator for precise distance setting.
- Country of Origin: Japan
