Versatile Capacitive Sensing with the Omron E2K-X4ME1 Sensor
Unlike other types of sensors that can only detect metal, this capacitive type can sense almost anything. This includes plastics, wood, liquids, and powders. This makes the Omron E2K-X4ME1 an incredibly flexible tool for your automation projects.
The proximity sensor works by detecting changes in capacitance. When an object enters its sensing field, the sensor detects it without any physical contact. This non-contact operation is a major benefit in industrial settings. It prevents wear and tear on both the sensor and the products, leading to a longer operational life and less maintenance.
Precision 4 mm Sensing Distance in an M12 Cylindrical Body
The design of this proximity sensor is perfect for easy integration. It features a standard M12 threaded cylindrical body, a common size in the industry. This makes mounting simple and secure. The fixed sensing distance of 4 mm is a key feature. It eliminates the need for time-consuming sensitivity adjustments, allowing for a “plug-and-play” installation.
Reliable DC NPN Output for Easy Integration
The Omron E2K-X4ME1 uses a standard DC 3-wire configuration with an NPN output. This is one of the most common output types in the industry, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of PLCs and other control devices.
The Normally Open (NO) operation means the output is off when no object is present and turns on when an object is detected. This logic is simple and easy to implement in your control programs. The sensor is also equipped with essential protection circuits, including reverse polarity and short-circuit protection, safeguarding your equipment from electrical faults.
Frequently Asked Questions
As a capacitive proximity sensor, it is highly versatile and can detect both metallic and non-metallic materials, including plastic, wood, glass, water, and grains.
An unshielded sensor, like the E2K-X4ME1, has a wider sensing field and typically a longer detection distance. A shielded sensor has a more focused field and can be mounted flush in metal, but with a shorter range.
An NPN output is a type of transistor output that “sinks” current. When activated, it connects the output wire to the ground (0V). It is a common standard compatible with many PLCs and control systems worldwide.
Yes. This sensor has an IP66 protection rating and is made with an oil-resistant PVC cable and a heat-resistant ABS housing, making it durable enough for use in environments with exposure to dust, water jets, and cutting oil.
