Omron
Reliably detect iron and aluminum
Manufacturers in the automotive industry are striving to meet the demand for electric vehicles and reduce fuel consumption through lighter vehicles by favoring aluminum over iron.
As the use of mixed production lines containing both metals increases, so does the demand for proximity sensors with a suitable wide switching distance. Omron 's E2EW series has been developed to meet these requirements. The proximity sensors have been optimized to withstand the harsh conditions of typical automotive welding processes with a fluoroplastic coating that provides increased spatter resistance.
The switching distance of the series is approximately twice as far as previous models for ferrous metals and six times as far as previous models for aluminum. Due to the identical switching distances for both metals, the sensors support a common design for position detection. IO-Link support enables real-time collection of detection level and temperature change data from proximity sensors from a single location.
