Omron E3NC-SH100 2M Smart Laser Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3NC-SH100 2M is a smart laser sensor head with distance-setting capability across a sensing range of 35 to 100 mm. Its 660 nm red semiconductor laser diode provides the optical source, while the distance-setting principle defines the required sensing zone within the available range. The focused spot is approximately 0.5 mm at a distance of 100 mm, supporting precise short-range object sensing. A 2 m pre-wired cable provides connection to the associated E3NC system, while OUT, STABILITY, and ST indicators provide visual operating information. Within the E3NC Series, the E3NC-SH100 2M provides the 100 mm distance-setting option. Related short-range distance-setting laser sensors are available across Omron Industrial Sensor Products.

The Omron E3NC-SH100 2M Photoelectric Sensor is a smart laser sensor head using distance-setting sensing across a specified range of 35 to 100 mm. A 660 nm red semiconductor laser diode provides the optical source, producing an approximately 0.5 mm spot at a distance of 100 mm. The distance-setting principle allows the required sensing position to be established within the available working range. A 2 m pre-wired cable provides connection to associated E3NC equipment. Orange OUT, green STABILITY, and blue ST indicators provide visual operating information. Ambient-light resistance is specified at 2,000 lx under incandescent light and 4,000 lx under sunlight. Operating temperature extends from -10 to 55°C, while storage is specified from -25 to 70°C. Humidity is listed from 35% to 85%.
For an Omron distance setting laser sensor requiring a short 35 to 100 mm sensing zone, the relevant model is the E3NC-SH100. Insulation resistance is specified at 20 MΩ minimum at 500 VDC, while dielectric strength is 1,000 VAC for one minute. Listed materials include PBT for the case, PMMA for the lens, and PVC for the cable. Its specification also suits searches for an Omron 100 mm laser sensor and Omron short range distance sensor. The focused spot supports precise target presence and position sensing within compact machine spaces. The shorter working range is useful where sensing must remain concentrated around a nearby target position. For applications requiring the same distance-setting principle over a wider working range, see E3NC-SH250 2M.
