Mouser Electronics, the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now shipping the new E3AS-HF Time of Flight (ToF) laser sensors from Omron Industrial Automation. The E3AS-HF ToF photoelectric sensors achieve stable, continuous-level detection of difficult-to-sense targets for industrial automation, manufacturing and harsh environment applications.
The Omron Industrial Automation E3AS-HF ToF laser sensors, available from Mouser, are equipped with a patent-pending, high-sensitivity photodiode and can reliably detect targets with low light reflectivity from 0.05 to 6 meters with a unique wide-angle view of ±85°. This low-light ability makes the sensors suitable for the detection of dark targets on a dark background, or curved and shiny surfaces, utilizing a unique sensing algorithm that provides superior detection of targets at harsh angles, allowing for greater flexibility in machine design or retrofitting a sensor into existing setups.
The E3AS-HF series is also ideal for continuous level detection applications, such as determining stack height, overflow, or run-out detection of opaque liquids or goods, at long ranges. With a 6m sensing range, this sensor can also be mounted away from moving robots, workers, or other dangerous equipment that often damages sensors and contributes to unexpected downtime, ensuring reliable operation regardless of color, shape, or material. With an easy-to-read display, bright visible indicators, IO-link compatibility, and a setup menu with five different language options, users can reduce costly configuration and setup time while maintaining stable detection of their most difficult-to-sense objects.
As a global authorised distributor, Mouser offers the world’s widest selection of the newest semiconductors and electronic components — in stock and ready to ship. Mouser’s customers can expect 100% certified, genuine products that are fully traceable from each of its manufacturer partners. To help speed up the design process for customers, Mouser’s website hosts an extensive library of technical resources, including a Technical Resource Centre, along with product data sheets, supplier-specific reference designs, application notes, technical design information, engineering tools and other helpful information.
