E3ZM-CT87B

Optical sensors are used in a variety of applications, and one type is the E3ZM-CT87B sensor. This type of sensor is classified as a photoelectric, industrial sensor. As such, it can be used in industrial settings to monitor the movement of products or parts.

The E3ZM-CT87B is a passive, infrared reflective type sensor. It consists of an infrared light emitter, and a receiver (photo diode). When the infrared light reflected from the product or part is received by the sensor, it completes the circuit. This generates an output, which is used to trigger a controller, such as a PLC. This output can then be used to activate machinery, or sound an alarm.

The sensor is designed to detect materials and products that have reflective properties. It also works well in diffuse reflection mode, where a single surface is used to create a consistent reflective area. This means it can be used to detect small parts with uneven surfaces, as well as materials with glossy surfaces.

The key benefit of using this type of sensor is its long sensing range. This makes it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. It is also highly accurate, with a repeatability of ± 0.05mm, making it ideal for use in precision machinery, such as robot arms.

The E3ZM-CT87B is designed to be connected to a controller or PLC using discrete wiring, such as a 2- or 3-wire circuit. It requires a 12-24V DC power supply. It also has a range of output levels, with one- or two-wire output options available.

The E3ZM-CT87B can be used in a variety of applications. It is ideal for non-contact parts counting, such as detecting the number of in-coming parts on a production line. It can be used to detect parts on a conveyor, or within a hopper. It is also suitable for monitoring the level of fill in a storage container, or for detecting the presence of a product or part.

In summary, the E3ZM-CT87B is a reliable and accurate photoelectric, industrial sensor. It can be used to detect the presence or absence of a product or part, as well as to monitor levels or count parts. It is suitable for use in harsh industrial environments, and requires a discrete circuit for connection. It has a wide sensing range, and is capable of detecting materials with reflective properties.
