The Omron E3S-AT66 features a precise through-beam sensing method with a robust 7-meter sensing distance, ideal for detecting opaque objects down to 10 mm in diameter. With a Red LED (660 nm) as the light source and a fast 0.5 ms response time, it delivers stable detection across high-speed automation lines. Operating within a 10 to 30 VDC power range, this sensor is equipped with NPN output and supports Light-ON/Dark-ON selectable operation for adaptable integration.
The sensor maintains energy efficiency with just 20 mA of current consumption per emitter and receiver, and an optional turbo mode for enhanced signal strength. Installation is streamlined via a durable M12 connector, while the two-turn endless sensitivity adjuster provides easy fine-tuning for varying target conditions. Built to endure industrial demands, the housing is crafted from PBT, denatured polyallylate, and stainless steel (SUS304), offering resistance to vibration, shock, and temperature extremes.
With an ingress protection rating of IP67 and compliance with NEMA 4X (indoor only), the E3S-AT66 Photoelectric Sensor stands up to moisture, dust, and mechanical stress. Safety is further reinforced with reverse polarity protection and output short-circuit protection.
