The Omron E3FA-VN11 2M Photoelectric Sensor is part of the Omron E3FA Series designed for focused object detection in industrial automation. It uses a limited distance reflective sensing method with a 10 to 50 mm adjustable range and operates on a 10 to 30 VDC power supply. The sensor provides an NPN open collector output and features a pre-wired 2 m cable for easy installation. With IP67 and IP69K protection, it is suitable for harsh environments where dust and water resistance are essential for reliable operation.
Used widely across packaging lines, conveyor systems, and assembly automation, this model ensures stable detection of objects within short ranges. It is ideal for detecting labels, plastic parts, or assembly components with precise repeatability. The quick 0.5 ms response time enables real-time feedback in high-speed operations, supporting productivity and reducing misdetections caused by background reflections or variable lighting conditions.
The Omron E3FA-VN11 2M Photoelectric Sensor features compact housing and focused sensing, ensuring accurate detection in tight spaces. For similar applications requiring a PNP output instead of NPN, users can opt for the Omron E3FA-VP11 2M Photoelectric Sensor, which offers the same sensing distance with PNP configuration. Where quick-connect installation is preferred, the Omron E3FA-VN21 Photoelectric Sensor provides an M12 connector version of the same reflective type. For users requiring a diffuse-reflective sensing approach with longer detection up to 100 mm, the Omron E3FA-DN11 2M Photoelectric Sensor serves as a suitable alternative within the same series. The Omron E3FA-VN11 2M offers dependable detection for precise industrial sensing tasks.
Engineered by Omron Corporation, this E3FA Series model combines mechanical strength with dependable sensing performance. Its ABS housing, PMMA lens, and wide operating temperature range from −25°C to 55°C ensure long-term stability. With adjustable sensitivity and polarity-free red LED light source, it fits seamlessly into diverse industrial systems. The Omron E3FA-VN11 2M Photoelectric Sensor stands as a trusted solution for automation setups across India, delivering consistent performance in packaging, assembly, and process control environments.
