Omron TL-W Flat Inductive Proximity Sensor
The Omron TL-W Flat Inductive Proximity Sensor is a low-profile inductive sensing device designed for space-constrained industrial applications. This series is positioned within Omron’s flat proximity sensor category and is engineered for reliable metal detection where conventional cylindrical sensors cannot be installed. With compact construction and stable sensing performance, the TL-W series supports accurate detection in automation equipment, assembly lines, and machinery with limited mounting space. This product is manufactured by Omron and categorized under Omron Proximity Sensors for industrial automation use.
The TL-W Series Flat Inductive Proximity Sensors are designed with a 6 mm thickness while providing a reliable 3 mm sensing distance in models such as TL-W3MC1. This flat construction allows direct mounting on metal surfaces, making the series suitable for positioning and presence detection in compact mechanical assemblies, conveyors, and tooling applications. The series includes resin and aluminum die-cast housing options, supporting durability in standard industrial environments. TL-W sensors operate using inductive detection principles to sense metal targets without contact, reducing mechanical wear and maintenance needs. By combining flat form factor, robust housing options, and consistent sensing performance, the TL-W series addresses proximity detection requirements where installation space is limited.
