An absolute innovation in reflective photoelectric sensors Conventional reflective photoelectric sensors with a shorter sensing distance are only used in limited applications since their detection performance varies with the colors and shapes of detected objects. The E3AS-HF is a perfect reflective photoelectric sensor model that can solve the conventional problems.

1. A wide sensing range and excellent angle characteristics supported at the same time Performance of conventional long-distance reflective photoelectric sensors is not always stable since their detection performance varies with the colors and shapes of detected objects. With its unique sensing algorithm, E3AS-HF has overcome the problem, eliminating the time and effort to select and set up sensors.

Three technologies underlying the excellent sensing performance TOF method to stably detect various Ultra-fast sampling and unique workpieces accumulation processing PATENTED The TOF (Time of Flight) method measures the distance By accumulating approximately 10 million data points based on the elapsed time. Therefore, measurement is obtained by ultra-fast sampling at 10 billion times not easily affected by changes in the color and material per second, the method obtains a clear incident light...

2. Equipment free from mutual interference when multiple sensors are used Automatic Mutual Interference Prevention The technology adopted by E3AS-HF can prevent interference between the sensors without the need for their channel settings. It prevents the sensors placed to face each other from causing mutual interference, reducing equipment disruptions.

3. An easily visible OLED display Setup of conventional reflective photoelectric sensors is complicated and requires skills and experience. However, the enhanced operability of the sensor allows anyone to reliably perform the setup, reducing commissioning hours and ensuring long-term stable operation. OLED Display with 5 languages supported A detection display can be selected according to the usage, so you can quickly see the necessary sensor’s status.

Various functions for easy use Adjustable spot diameter PATENT PENDING The spot diameter adjustable with the dial on the top of the sensor can be selected from three options according Approx. Spot beam type 2 mm dia. to whether you want to detect a spot on a small workpiece such as a pin or an area on a surface such as a hole.

Antifouling coating PATENTED A dirty sensing surface can cause false detection due to the principle of photoelectric sensors. The antifouling coating on the sensing surface prevents paper dust, etc. from sticking to the sensing surface, and keeps the lens from fogging as well.

IO-Link supported as standard to visualize a manufacturing environment In addition to ON/OFF signals, IO-Link can send and receive the sensor information to and from an upper-level controller. This allows real-time status monitoring of the sensors, reduction of the configuration hours during setup and replacement, and reduction of unexpected equipment disruptions due to accidental problems.
