Omron, E3AS Series

last update: October 15, 2019

Use reflective photoelectric sensors in entirely new ways.

Conventional reflective photoelectric sensors have issues that may limit their range of application, such as their short sensing distances, possible false detection due to the effect of workpiece colors, and their large sizes.
The E3AS-F Series adopts the TOF method, which effectively resolves these issues for increased versatility. E3AS-F Sensors can be used, for example, in high-mix conveyor lines carrying products of various colors and shapes, and assembly lines with restricted space for sensor installation.
Note: Pre-wired Models and M8/M12 Pre-wired Connector Models will be coming soon.

TOF method to stably detect various workpieces

Design diverging and converging conveyor lines with a single model

E3AS-F Sensors can detect workpieces by the set distance regardless of their colors or materials, reducing the time required for evaluation and adjustment of each workpiece. Compared to through-beam and retro-reflective models, they require half the work to install, significantly saving setup time.

Free from installation restrictions on assembly lines

Previously, installing sensors in the assembly area ran the risk of their colliding with tools and workpieces, causing sensor failures or optical axis misalignment, both of which would lead to false detections. E3AS-F Sensors, with their long sensing distances, can detect objects from outside the assembly area, effectively reducing the frequency of line stoppages caused by unnecessary problems.
Their compact size allows them to be installed in various locations.

Reduce selection/commissioning time

Reduce sensor cleaning time and replacement frequency

Reduce commissioning and change overtime
