Tool-friendly Construction
for Reliable Installation
With conventional models, it
was possible for the wrench to

detection.
OMRON’s original tool-friendly construction allows the wrench to fit all the
way onto the nut without coming into contact with the cable. The Fiber Unit
is not accidentally damaged.

Re
The E32-LD11N’s signal change (S/N ratio) is approx. 3 times higher than
that of the conventional Fiber Units.*2 Because the target area is viewed with
the narrow field of a 15° aperture angle, there is a greater difference in incident
light levels and objects can be detected reliably.

following mode names and response times apply to the modes given in the Sensing distance column.
*1. The
E3X-HD GIGA: Giga-power mode (16 ms), HS: High-speed mode (250 μs), ST: Standard mode (1 ms), and SHS: Super-high-speed mode (NPN output: 50 μs, PNP output: 55 μs)
E3NX-FA GIGA: Giga-power mode (16 ms), HS: High-speed mode (250 μs), ST: Standard mode (1 ms), and SHS: Super-high-speed mode (30 μs)
The optical fiber is 2 m long on each side, so the sensing distance is 4,000 mm.
*2.
The values for the minimum sensing object are reference values that indicate values obtained in standard mode with the sensing distance and sensitivity set to the optimum values.
*3. The
first value is for the E3X-HD and the second value is for the E3NX-FA.
4. The sensing distances for Reflective Fiber Units are for white paper. The sensing distances for the E32-LD11N 2M are for glossy white paper.
*Note.
Objects with a high reflection factor may cause the Retro-reflective Fiber Sensor to detect reflected light as incident light.
Detection may be unstable depending on the type of transparent object. Check suitability beforehand.
