OMRON’s E3X-ZV Fiber Optic Smart Amplifiers

07 May 2024

The main advantages of the family are the excellent ratio between price and performance as well as the ease of integration.

Inovations

This budget-effective solution from the Japanese manufacturer was created in response to the key needs of modern detection applications. E3X-ZV smart amplifiers are designed to optimize the registration of various components and products in automated production

In its latest generation of fiber optic sensor amplifiers, Omron makes strategic changes in materials and manufacturing processes, incorporating new technologies to reduce costs and expand applications, while maintaining the devices’ rich functionality and high performance.

The difficulties in selecting and configuring the appropriate detection sensor and the shortage of qualified personnel in the segment complicate the cost-effective implementation of fiber optic sensors in industrial equipment. Based on over 60 years of expertise in developing sensors for industry, Omron has optimized the E3X-ZV series precisely in response to this challenge.

The amplifiers in the family are designed for precise detection and ease of use, allowing even inexperienced technical personnel to quickly and efficiently set up their equipment.

Key benefits:

  • High reliability and performance when detecting objects with a minimum size of 3 μm, even in poor lighting and adverse conditions;
  • Excellent resistance to differences and deviations in color and surface characteristics: suitable for detection of objects with dark and glossy surfaces;
  • High-speed mode (reaction up to 50 μs): excellent choice for dynamic detection of seams on rolls of sheet material, for example in battery production;
  • Optical fibers with a width of 10 mm: allows precise registration of characteristics on roll materials that move at a speed of up to 200 m/s;
  • Stability of the output signal, even in the absence of a programmable logic controller in the system: ON/OFF-delay and One-shot timer function;
  • Automated setting: intelligent configuration function by automatically selecting the optimal sensitivity according to the reflective characteristics of the object – with a single press of the setting button;
  • Budget-effective design: minimal number of components and simplified device, patented two-channel technology.

Reliable and flexible detection, intelligent functionality

  • Easy setup, intuitive control;
  • High accuracy;
  • Short response times – up to 50 μs;
  • Intelligent configuration of optimal values ​​of light intensity and threshold levels;
  • Models with external output for distance learning;
  • Protection from mutual interference – for use in greater proximity of the optical sensor heads;
  • Dynamic beam intensity control function leading to reliable detection even when the illumination level changes;
  • Two-channel amplifier E3X-MZV for simplified connection and more compact dimensions of the equipment in which it is integrated;
  • Built-in logic functions in the two-channel model: AND, OR and XOR;
  • Models with innovative connectors for simplified wiring.
