Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages - Reliable detection of metallic objects - Suitable for demanding industrial environments - Easy installation and integration

Disadvantages - Limited sensing range - Restricted to metallic object detection

Working Principles

The sensor operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a metallic object enters the sensor's magnetic field, it induces eddy currents in the object, causing changes in the sensor's output signal. This change is then processed to determine the presence or absence of the object.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The E2A-M18LN16-M1-B3 is widely used in industrial automation for tasks such as material handling, machine tooling, and conveyor systems. It is also employed in automotive assembly lines, packaging machinery, and robotics for object detection and positioning.
