E3ZM-CT62B 5M

The E3ZM-CT62B 5M is an optical sensor that is part of a family of robust photoelectric switches. It is classified as an industrial optical sensor, meaning that its most common application areas are in industrial settings and industrial machinery used in factories for manufacturing and production.

The standard configuration of the E3ZM-CT62B 5M consists of an emitter and a receiver, which are connected to each other by an optic fiber. The diameter of the fiber is 5 mm, hence the "5M" designation. One of the advantages of this sensor is its very small size, measuring just 8 mm by 8 mm, allowing it to be used in compact or space-limited applications. Its switching range is phenomenal, from 0.2 m all the way to 6 m, depending on the detected object.

The primary working principle of the sensor is to detect an object or an obstacle in its vicinity by sensing the amount of light that is reflected from the object surface. The emitter emits a beam of infrared light which is then received by the receiver. When an object is detected, the amount of reflected light decreases and the switch is activated. Depending of the type of sensing mode selected, the switch may be the normally open (NO) type or the normally closed (NC) type.

The versatility of the E3ZM-CT62B 5M means that it can be used in a variety of applications. Common usages include detecting the presence of an object in a designated area, as well as reading a code or a pattern from the surface of an object. It can also measure the exact distance of the object from the sensor. Moreover, its fast response time makes it suitable for high-speed production lines.

Other features of the E3ZM-CT62B 5M include an adjustable operating range, an output indicator LED, and reverse polarity protection. Its wide easy-to-adjust operating range helps to quickly adapt the switch to different working environments. The robust construction and reliability of the sensor make it an excellent choice for industrial environments. The sensor is also IP67 rated, making it dust-proof and waterproof, allowing it to be used in both indoor and outdoor applications.

In conclusion, the E3ZM-CT62B 5M is an ideal choice for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Its features make it a reliable and robust solution for distances ranging from 0.2 m to 6 m. The adjustable operating range, reverse polarity protection, and IP67 rating ensure that the device will keep functioning accurately and reliably even in the toughest of environments.
