As the prevalence of mixed production lines containing both iron and aluminum increases, especially in automotive, the demand for same-sensing-distance proximity sensors with suitably long sensing ranges is also on the rise. The new E2EW Series from Omron Automation Americas (Hoffman Estates, IL) is designed to address this need. These highly durable, metal face proximity sensors boast the longest sensing range in their category to date, and they have been optimized to withstand the harsh conditions of typical automotive welding processes with a fluororesin coating that provides increased spatter resistance.
The sensing range of the E2EW Series is approximately twice as long as previous models for ferrous metals and six times as long as previous models for aluminum, making them the ideal solution for mixed-metal production lines.
