Omron Capacitive Proximity E2K-F Sensor Programmable Logic Controller
The Omron E2K-F Series features compact, flat-type capacitive proximity sensors designed for detecting both conductive and non-conductive materials such as glass, plastic, paper, powders, and liquids. Its slim, surface-mountable design makes it ideal for tank level detection and tight-space installations.
Categories:
Omron Capacitive Proximity Sensor- Flat, Compact Body: Easy surface mounting on tanks, walls, or panels.
- Capacitive Sensing: Detects solids, powders, and liquids – even through non-metallic walls.
- Built-in Sensitivity Adjustment: Fine-tune detection distance via side-mounted trimmer.
- DC 3-wire and 2-wire Types: Compatible with a wide range of PLCs and control circuits.
- Non-contact Detection: No direct contact with target material – ideal for hygiene-sensitive applications.
