Omron Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor, Barrel Sensor, 300 mm Detection Range

The E3FA range of compact photoelectric sensors from Omron are simple and quick to mount and easy to set up due to the large adjuster and high power LED indicator making alignment easier. The status LED indicators of these photoelectric sensors can also be seen easily, from long distances and wide angles. The E3FA series sensors are typically installed in industrial plants such as food and beverage, textiles, food and logistics and are also designed especially for non stop detection for areas where machines never stop.

This is a diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor with a sensing distance of 300 mm based on a white paper 300 x 300 mm. It features a red LED (624 nm) as the light source and offers Light-ON/Dark-ON selectable operation. The sensor is equipped with an M12 connector and operates with a PNP output. Its compact cylindrical design makes it suitable for various applications in industrial automation. The E3FADP22 ensures reliable object detection and presence sensing.

• Detects objects using diffuse-reflective sensing, making it versatile for different surfaces and materials
• The sensor can operate in both Light-ON and Dark-ON modes letting the users choose the mode that best suits their specific detection requirements
• The sensor has an operate or reset response time of 0.5 ms max. for quick detection ensures efficient process control and minimises delays
• IP67 and IP69K rating makes the E3FA-DP22 is dust-tight and water-resistant, suitable for harsh environments

• Detecting packages, boxes, or labels on conveyor belts
• Monitoring the presence of objects in bins, chutes, or hoppers
• Verifying the correct positioning of components during assembly processes
• Ensuring smooth material flow and preventing jams

Yes, it can detect transparent objects using Omron’s unique technology for birefringent (double refraction) properties.

The operating temperature range is from -25°C to 55°C without freezing or condensation.

Yes, it has been tested for shock resistance (500 m/s²) and vibration resistance (10 to 55 Hz, 1.5 mm double amplitude) in multiple directions
