The sensors are equipped with a highly sensitive photodiode (patent pending) and can reliably detect targets with low light reflectivity at a distance of 0.05 to 6 m, with a unique wide viewing angle of ±85°. This low-light capability makes the sensors suitable for detecting dark targets against a dark background or on curved, shiny surfaces. They utilize a unique algorithm that provides superior target detection at steep angles, enhancing flexibility in machine design or when retrofitting sensors in existing configurations.
The E3AS-HF series is also ideal for continuous level detection applications over a wide range, such as determining chimney height, detecting overflows, or detecting leaks of liquids or opaque goods. With a detection range of 6 m, this sensor can also be mounted away from robots, workers, or other hazardous moving equipment, which can often damage sensors and cause unexpected downtime. It therefore ensures reliable operation regardless of color, shape, or material. With an easy-to-read display, bright and visible indicators, IO-link compatibility, and a configuration menu in five languages, users reduce setup costs and time while maintaining stable detection of even the most difficult-to-detect objects.
