Omron E2EY Proximity Sensor
The Omron E2EY Proximity Sensor is a specialized inductive sensing device designed exclusively for detecting non-ferrous metals in industrial environments. This series is positioned within Omron’s proximity sensor portfolio and is engineered to distinguish aluminum, brass, and similar materials while deliberately excluding ferrous metals from detection. The E2EY series addresses applications where mixed metals are present and selective sensing is critical for accuracy and process stability. This product is manufactured by Omron and categorized under Omron Proximity Sensors used in industrial automation systems.
The Omron E2EY Series Proximity Sensor is engineered for reliable detection of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass, making it suitable for applications involving material differentiation and sorting. Unlike standard inductive sensors, this series is designed so that ferrous metals such as iron and nickel are not detected, preventing false triggering in mixed-metal environments. This selective sensing capability is achieved through optimized internal detection principles tailored specifically for non-ferrous targets. The E2EY series is commonly used in conveyor systems, machining processes, automotive component handling, and material separation tasks where aluminum detection is required without interference from steel structures. By focusing exclusively on non-ferrous detection, the E2EY sensor improves process accuracy, reduces errors, and enhances overall automation reliability in applications demanding precise metal discrimination.
