E2FM All-Stainless Inductive Sensor

Omron’s E2FM one-piece 303 stainless steel face/barrel construction resists damage caused by work-piece contact, scouring abrasion, and harsh chemicals. Operation is not influenced by the accumulation of aluminum or iron cutting chips and weld slag providing reliable sensing in harsh metal fabrication and machining environments.

• Up to 0.8 mm thick sensing face for superior mechanical durability, wear resistance

• Operation not influenced by accumulation of aluminum or iron cutting chips and weld slag

• 20% longer sensing range (10 mm) with M30 models versus the CENELEC standard 8 mm

• Flush mountable in ferrous materials to protect sensor from side impact damage

• Wrench flats for easy installation

• Standard M8, M12, M18 and M30 sizes; normally open contacts; 3 wire DC PNP open collector and 2 wire DC polarity and non-polarity sensitive models

• M12 connectors shorten service time: 3-wire DC models have built-in connectors; 2-wire DC models have a 0.3 m pig-tail lead with connector

• IP67 enclosure rating

Program networks, PLCs, HMIs, motion control systems, temperature controllers and sensors all from a single programming and configuration environment... CX-One from Omron

Omron's CX-One is an integrated software management tool that enables the user to build, configure and program networks, PLCs, HMIs, motion control systems, temperature controllers and sensors all from a single programming and configuration environment. It consolidates the functionality of many software packages into one. CX-One reduces the complexity of configuration and programming and is easy to use with minimal training. It delivers on Omron's "Smart Platform" promises of 1 software to learn, 1 connection point, and 1-minute installation for plug & work functionality.

Key Features and Benefits:

One Connection Point-use CX-One either locally, through networks or through a modem connection for remote access or servicing of your complete machine. Flexible and transparent communications architecture allows data exchange for more effective modular machine design.

One Minute for "Plug & Work" Setup. Programming, configuration, and testing that previously took hours or days can be accomplished in minutes!

Use CX-One's Function Block libraries and Smart Active Parts for simple "drag and drop" configuration, in contrast to conventional programming, for both control systems and HMIs. Use Omron's pre-tested libraries or create your own custom objects.

Great Value with Comprehensive Capabilities -CX-One lets you upload/download all programs and configurations to all devices from a single point or cable.

• Combines more then 10 software modules in one
• Programming support for PLCs, HMIs, Motion, Sensors, and Temperature Devices all from within the same software tool
• Network configurations
• Off-line configurations of PLC Analog and Ethernet Modules
• Centralized, Graphical Diagnostics for all"Smart Devices"
• Remote connectivity to all "Smart Devices"
• Process control and serial device protocol setup
• HMI development tools

NEW! Vision Sensor Offers Unmatched Inspection Speed, Precision and Storage Capacity

The new Omron F500 vision sensor is the most precise of Omron's line of vision sensors, featuring a 1 million pixel digital camera. The vision sensor also stores up to 200 images in compact flash that can then be transmitted in batches to permanent storage. Two separate processors, one for judgment and one for communication, allow the system to transmit images and be accessed from remote sites without slowing its operating inspection rates.

The F500 supports operations in IT networks, enabling ready access to data and images. Measurement images are stored for future use in checking measurement accuracy for quality control, for ongoing analysis of operations and for attachment to reports.

The F500 is ideal for meeting critical inspection needs in packaging and electronics product lines where precise appearance, positioning, and measurement data is important.

NEW! Smart Vision Sensor

Omron Electronics LLC has introduced a new compact size 2D smart vision sensor, the ZFV, designed to bring higher sensing speeds, greater efficiency and lower operating costs to sensing and vision applications. Speeds of 4, 6 or 12ms can be selected, and intelligent lighting optimizes image quality and the ability to adjust focus maximizes measurement accuracy. Images are transmitted digitally from sensor head to an amplifier and between amplifiers for clearer images. The ZFV sensor head offers a sensing view of 5mm to 50mm. Single-function or standard multifunction amplifiers are available as appropriate to the customer application.

Advanced algorithms enable these smart vision sensors to offer a wider choice of viewing area as well as enhanced discrimination of pattern, brightness, character detection, label position, target width, and detecting bar codes. Operations are selected on the amplifier's LCD monitor using easily-identifiable icons. One touch tracking simplifies set-up. The LCD monitor displays real time inspection images and can be panel mounted to eliminate separate monitoring equipment.

The new ZFV 2D smart vision sensor is ideal for packaging and electronics operations where cost-effective high-speed inspections are necessary.
