Engineered for durability and accuracy, the Omron E3S-AT16 uses a through-beam sensing method with a long-range sensing distance of 7 meters, suitable for detecting opaque objects as small as 10 mm in diameter. Its Red LED (660 nm) light source delivers consistent detection across high-speed conveyor systems, robotic arms, and packaging lines. Operating with a stable 10 to 30 VDC power supply, the sensor features NPN output and a fast 0.5 ms response time for time-sensitive industrial processes.
Both the emitter and receiver consume just 20 mA, ensuring energy efficiency without sacrificing performance. The Light-ON/Dark-ON selectable mode and two-turn endless sensitivity adjuster provide flexibility during installation and calibration. The compact housing, constructed from PBT, denatured polyallylate, and stainless steel (SUS304), offers robust protection against environmental challenges. Rated IP67 and NEMA 4X (indoor), the sensor resists moisture, dust, vibration, and mechanical shockβensuring dependable operation in demanding environments.
With built-in reverse polarity protection and output short-circuit protection, the E3S-AT16 Photoelectric Sensor from Omron is a trusted solution for industrial engineers requiring reliable, long-range detection in compact form.
