The Omron E3Z-B87 is a high-performance photoelectric sensor switch designed for precision detection in a variety of industrial applications. This compact and durable sensor features a cuboid shape and employs a retro-reflective sensing method to accurately identify objects, including transparent ones, at distances up to 2000 mm. Its minimum sensing distance is 500 mm, allowing for flexibility in installation and operation.

Equipped with a PNP output type, the E3Z-B87 can be set to operate in either Dark-ON or Light-ON modes, catering to different operational requirements. The response time of this sensor is a swift 1 ms, ensuring quick and reliable performance in fast-paced environments.

The sensor's housing is made from PBT, a robust material that offers resilience in various conditions. The device is also designed with a polarity-free red light, which simplifies installation and maintenance. With a power supply voltage range of 12-24 V, it is versatile and can be integrated into existing systems with ease.

One of the standout features of the E3Z-B87 is its ability to detect transparent objects without the need for a mirror surface reflector (M.S.R.), making it an ideal choice for industries handling glass, plastic, or other transparent materials. Additionally, it boasts an IP67 degree of protection, ensuring that it is dust-tight and can withstand immersion in water, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments.

The sensor's dimensions are compact, with a width of 10.8 mm, a height of 31 mm, and a depth of 20 mm, allowing it to be installed in tight spaces without compromising functionality. The connection method is a convenient M8 4-pin connector, which facilitates quick and secure electrical connections.

Overall, the Omron E3Z-B87 is a reliable and efficient solution for industrial sensing needs, offering precise detection capabilities and robust construction for long-term operation.
