Introduction

The E3Z-B66 photoelectric sensor is a versatile industrial device designed to detect the presence or absence of objects. The device utilizes near-infrared light emitted from a single LED source and an independent photocell to detect objects without contact, and can be used in a wide variety of applications and environments. This article will discuss the application field of the E3Z-B66, and how it works.

Application Field of the E3Z-B66

The E3Z-B66 is a popular choice for applications where objects must remain the same distance away from the sensor, or for applications where there are a mix of both large and small objects. It is especially suited for use in hazardous environments. When used in hazardous locations it can be classified as explosion-proof, intrinsically safe, and non-incendive. This device is well-suited for use in warehouses, factories, and in any industrial setting where objects must be detected at a certain distance.

Working Principle of the E3Z-B66

The E3Z-B66 uses a combination of near-infrared light emitting from an LED source and a photocell to detect objects. The LED source emits a steady beam of light, and when an object breaks the beam the photocell detects the interruption and a signal is sent to the controller. To help adjust the sensitivity of the device, the E3Z-B66 comes with three different ranges: low, medium, and high. Each of these ranges is adjustable, allowing the user to fine-tune the sensitivity of the detection. The low setting is used when objects are relatively close to the sensor, while the medium setting is used when objects are a mid-range distance from the sensor, and the high setting is used for objects that are further away. The E3Z-B66 can also be adjusted to accommodate different speeds. A maximum of 1500Hz (cycles per second) is recommended for reliable detection. This allows the E3Z-B66 to be used in applications that involve high-speed objects passing through the detection area.

Conclusion

The E3Z-B66 is a versatile and reliable industrial photoelectric sensor that is capable of measuring the presence or absence of objects in a wide variety of applications and environments. Its adjustable ranges, different sensitivities, and high-speed capability makes this device an excellent choice for use in explosion-proof, intrinsically safe, and non-incendive hazardous locations.
