A proximity sensor is a technological genius that detects objects without physically touching them.
Unlike limit switches that require direct contact, proximity sensors use clever methods to sense the presence or movement of nearby objects and convert that information into an electrical signal. This makes them ideal for various applications where delicate objects need to be handled or where frequent contact detection is required.
Proximity Sensors are available in models using high-frequency oscillation to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects and in capacitive models to detect non-metal objects. Models are available with environment resistance, heat resistance, resistance to chemicals, and water resistance.
Omron Industrial Automation E2E NEXT series is a smart sensor that boasts the world’s longest detection distance. This has been developed with IoT features. This particular sensing family helps reduce the risk of sudden facility stoppages, this is due to the extended sensing distance and I-O Link communication, warning signs of unstable behaviour can easily be detected.
Omron E2E NEXT sensor can help improve your applications by improving the facility operation rates preventing unforeseen facility stoppages and reducing facility downtime.
Key highlights of the Omron E2E NEXT series Proximity Sensor
Allows for a more spacious design with less risk of contact.
Compared to previous models’ users were forced to adopt sensor installation to prevent false detections. Omron E2E NEXT proximity sensor can detect accurately from a greater distance, which means users can adopt a design with more space and less risk of contact. Furthermore, by having additional space this means collisions and malfunctions are reduced. Enables predictive maintenance through condition monitoring.
By connecting sensors with controllers using the I-O Link Master enables to sending of information necessary for stable operations to host devices. This leads to condition monitoring and failure of detection of sensors which in turn contribute to predictive maintenance of equipment and facilities.
Additionally, users can increase the productivity of your facility by accumulating information in databases and feeding analysis results back to equipment on the site.
Proven Robustness
Omron E2E NEXT proximity sensor is the best solution for challenging conditions with its extended temperature ranges and its high protection degree rating of IP69 K making this sensor water and wash-resistant. The E2E NEXT series cable accessories offer an IP67 offering an enhanced oil rating.
One size smaller than previous models
Size comparisons between models with equivalent sensing distance.
Easily update existing facilities thanks to e-jig
Easily upgrade existing facilities to enable "10-second* proximity sensor replacements".
The extended sensing distance models have approximately twice that of previous models. For example, the sensing distance of the quadruple distance model of M12 size is 9mm, which is about the same as the conventional M18 model. Using Omron sensors together with the e-jig allows users to easily upgrade their existing applications so users can replace sensors within 10 seconds!
