The Omron E3Z-B66 utilizes a Compact Photoelectric Sensor without MSR, tailored specifically for detecting transparent materials like clear plastic bottles. With a maximum sensing distance of 500 mm and a red LED light source (660 nm), it provides precise and stable detection of objects as small as 75 mm in diameter. It supports a wide operating voltage of 12 to 24 VDC and offers a fast 1 ms response time, ideal for high-speed automation tasks.
Featuring a Light-ON/Dark-ON selectable mode, the sensor allows flexible application logic. The standard M8 connector ensures plug-and-play installation, while the built-in sensitivity adjuster and dual indicators (orange for operation, green for stability) provide intuitive setup and real-time status monitoring. With a durable housing made from PBT and modified polyarylate, the unit maintains stability in high-vibration and shock-prone environments.
Tested to withstand vibration (1.5 mm double amplitude) and shock (500 m/sΒ²), the Omron E3Z-B66 photoelectric sensor is fully protected by robust circuitry, including reverse polarity, short-circuit, and mutual interference prevention. Certified to IEC IP67 standards, it operates reliably across wide ambient conditions from β25 to 55Β°C
