Omron E3JK-RR12 2M Photoelectric Sensor

The Omron E3JK-RR12 2M Photoelectric Sensor is part of the Omron E3JK Series designed for reliable sensing in industrial automation. It uses a retro-reflective sensing method with a range of up to 6 meters when used with the E39-R1 reflector. The unit supports a 24 to 240 VAC/DC voltage range and delivers a relay output suitable for both AC and DC operations. With an IP64 protection rating and a robust ABS housing, it performs well in harsh industrial conditions such as factories and process control lines.

This model belongs to a versatile family of photoelectric sensors commonly used in a wide range of automation applications. The E3JK Series is recognized for its long sensing distance, stable performance even under strong ambient light, and straightforward installation. The E3JK-RR12 2M variant supports both Light ON and Dark ON modes, providing flexibility for different machinery setups. With a fast 20 ms response time, it delivers reliable signal output, making it suitable for accurate object detection in conveyor, packaging, and general industrial handling systems.

In practical applications, the Omron E3JK-RR12 2M Photoelectric Sensor is used in packaging lines, material handling, and automated sorting systems. It helps detect product presence, position, or movement with consistent accuracy. Manufacturers use it on conveyor belts, bottle filling stations, and assembly machines to maintain process control and avoid mechanical contact. The integrated mutual interference prevention function allows multiple sensors to operate side by side without false triggering.

The Omron E3JK-RR12 2M Photoelectric Sensor is a retro-reflective type sensor with MSR function, offering a sensing range from 100 mm to 6 m when using the E39-R1 reflector, and up to 10 m with the E39-R2. It operates on a selectable AC/DC power supply and provides a relay output with a pre-wired 2 m cable for versatile installation. For applications requiring similar performance without the MSR function, the Omron E3JK-RR11 2M Photoelectric Sensor offers an extended sensing range up to 11 m. Users preferring a model supplied with a mounting bracket and reflector can choose the Omron E3JK-RR12-C 2M Photoelectric Sensor. Alternatively, for setups needing an infrared LED light source instead of red, the Omron E3JK-RR13 2M Photoelectric Sensor provides reliable retro-reflective detection up to 11 m. The Omron E3JK-RR12 2M ensures dependable detection for reflective sensing applications across diverse industrial environments.

The wide operating temperature range of −25 °C to 55 °C and the ability to handle both AC and DC supply make this sensor ideal for industrial environments with varying power systems. Its one-turn sensitivity adjuster simplifies on-site calibration. With its durable design and long service life, it contributes to reduced downtime and improved equipment reliability in automated setups.

In summary, the Omron E3JK-RR12 2M Photoelectric Sensor from the E3JK Series is a dependable sensing solution for automation systems requiring accurate and stable object detection. With a 6 m range, 24–240 VAC/DC input, relay output, and IP64 protection, it ensures consistent performance in demanding industrial environments. This model strengthens Omron’s reputation as a reliable brand for photoelectric sensors used across India’s automation and manufacturing sectors.
