OMRON Corporation is a world-leading Japanese automation manufacturer known for its high-quality sensors, control equipment, and industrial automation solutions. OMRON sensors are widely used in manufacturing lines, packaging machinery, automotive production, and material handling systems worldwide.

This guide covers the most popular OMRON sensor series available from Ningbo Youph Automation.

## OMRON E2E NEXT Series Proximity Sensors

The E2E NEXT series is OMRON's latest generation of inductive proximity sensors, offering longer sensing distances and higher durability compared to previous models. Key features include:

- Sensing Distance – Up to 1.5 times longer than conventional E2E models

- Housing Options – M8, M12, M18, and M30 threaded barrel styles

- Output Configurations – NPN or PNP, NO or NC

- Material – Nickel-plated brass and stainless steel housings

- Protection – IP67 rated for harsh industrial environments

- Temperature Range – -25°C to +70°C standard

The E2E NEXT series is ideal for position detection, part presence verification, and machine tool monitoring.

## OMRON E3X Fiber Optic Amplifiers

OMRON's E3X series fiber optic amplifiers provide high-speed, high-precision detection for small parts and confined spaces. These amplifiers work with separate fiber optic cables, allowing flexible installation in tight areas.

- E3X-NA41 / E3X-NA41F – Smart fiber amplifier units with digital display

- Response Time – As fast as 50 microseconds

- Sensing Modes – Through-beam, retro-reflective, and diffuse reflective

- Applications – Small part detection, mark sensing, edge detection

## OMRON E3JM Photoelectric Sensors

The E3JM series are self-contained photoelectric sensors with built-in amplifier, simplifying installation and reducing wiring requirements. They are available in through-beam, retro-reflective, and diffuse reflective models.

- E3JM-DS70M4-G – Diffuse reflective type with 700 mm sensing distance

- Power Supply – 12-24V DC / 24-240V AC universal voltage

- Output – Relay contact output for direct load switching

- Protection – IP66 rated for washdown environments

## OMRON Limit Switches

OMRON's precision limit switches are built for reliable position detection in industrial machinery.
