Omron E3C-1 2M is a compact photoelectric sensor designed for precise through-beam detection in high-speed industrial applications. It consists of separate emitter and receiver units and supports a sensing distance of up to 1 meter. With the ability to detect opaque objects as small as 4 mm, the E3C-1 2M offers accurate, consistent performance for conveyor systems, part detection, and position sensing.
Powered by a high-efficiency 950 nm infrared LED, the sensor maintains stable detection under changing ambient lighting, with tolerance up to 10,000 lx (sunlight). Its robust polycarbonate housing supports reliable operation from β25Β°C to 70Β°C and is rated IP66 under IEC 60529, making it resistant to dust and splashing water in indoor use. The unit includes a 2-meter pre-wired cable, simplifying installation and reducing wiring errors in compact control panels or equipment housings.
Engineered for demanding environments, the Omron E3C-1 2M resists vibration (10 to 55 Hz, 1.5 mm double amplitude) and shock up to 500 m/sΒ² across all axes. It offers high insulation resistance of 20 MΞ© at 500 VDC and dielectric strength of 500 VAC, ensuring electrical reliability in control circuits. Its through-beam configuration helps eliminate false detection and is ideal for fast-moving parts or narrow object recognition tasks.
Lightweight at approximately 60 grams, the sensor is well-suited for space-constrained installations in automated systems. With Omronβs trusted performance and a compact, durable design, the E3C-1 2M is an excellent solution for precision sensing in packaging lines, assembly machines, and compact automation setups.
