Enables designs with more distance between the sensor and the sensing object, thereby reducing unexpected facility stoppages due to collision and false detection, which occurred with previous proximity sensors.
*1. Based on August 2022 OMRON investigation.
With previous models, to avoid false detections, you were forced to adopt sensor installation designs that risked contact. The E2E NEXT PREMIUM Proximity Sensor can detect accurately from a greater distance, which means you can adopt designs with more space and less risk of contact.

Proximity sensors with longer sensing distance require increased sensitivity. However, with the increased sensitivity, temperature changes will have bigger influence in sensing distance, and differences between individual sensors will be bigger. E2E NEXT Proximity Sensors (3-wire models) solve these issues by newly implementing Thermal Distance Control 2, a technology to enable extended sensing ranges. It enables in-line measurements of each sensor’s temperature characteristics, using multiple temperature points, in IoT-enabled production processes. The optimal correction values are then calculated based on our unique algorithm. The values are written into the analog digital hybrid IC (PROX3) for shipping to minimize differences between sensors and the influence of temperature changes that may occur in the customer’s environments.
