E3FA PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS A new generation in sensing performance

A new generation in sensing performance! Producing more than a million per year, Omron is a world leader in photoelectric sensors. Backed by more than 40 years of experience, Omron is constantly enhancing its portfolio and has now completely redesigned and expanded its popular M18 cylindrical range. Renowned for its high quality and product reliability, Omron’s new generation of photoelectric sensors represents one of the largest varieties of dependable and easy-touse photoelectric sensors on the market. Regardless of your industry or application, the E3FA series has the right sensor for the...

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. Compact size and shape. Can be installed almost anywhere. Visible LED light for easy alignment. Bright LED indicators for the easy operational status checking. Flush...

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, retroreflective and diffuse reflective types in straight and radial versions. Straight versions are also available with backgroundsuppression, limited-reflective detection, and transparent object detection types for special applications. All models are available in plastic and...

Application specific models Limited-reflective types suitable for Transparent object detection types Background suppression types for the detecting transparant film to shiny, mirror utilising Omron’s unique technology stable detection of different objects with for detecting objects with birefringent various colours. (double refraction) properties. E3FA Special Models The E3FA series includes special models to solve demanding applications, for example, in the food and packaging industry. This includes the detection of transparent or structured objects. Limited distance reflective 10 to 50 mm Transparent...

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. High power LED to compensate for dirt and misalignment. Pulse synchronisation for high ambient light immunity. Intensive shielding for high electromagnetic...
