Keyence releases a new proximity sensor called the ER Series

The innovative features of the ER Series, including long-range detection, durable design, 360° status indicators, etc. combine to provide advantages that are unmatched by other proximity sensors on the market. This sensor is setting a new standard in the industry with its ability to increase detection distance, improve reliability, and simplify installation.

Product Overview: Keyence just released the newest innovation in inductive proximity sensors, the ER Series. This series offers an impressively long detection range that outperforms conventional sensors, without sacrificing stability or functionality. The ER Series features a versatile lineup of sensor models that work for any application or industry due to its rugged design. With its variety of other innovative features, including 360 indicator lights, Factor 1 detection, etc., the ER Series is proven to improve performance and ease of use.

Long Distance Detection: The ER Series is becoming the new standard proximity sensor with its impressive long-range detection ability, unmatched by other conventional models on the market. With an increased sensing range and enhanced stability (from its world's first detection technology), both downtime and false detection are reduced. Increasing the sensing range allows for installation further from the detection target, improving stability and reducing the risk of impact and sensor damage.

Durability: This proximity sensor also features an all-metal detection surface that helps to maintain reliable detection even in rough environments. The rugged design of the ER Series protects against impact and abrasions, as compared to plastic detection surfaces on conventional sensors that are constantly damaged and replaced. All metal types in this series were designed to ensure reliable performance in any harsh environment, such as welding, machining centers, washdown environments, etc.

Additional Features: The ER Series Proximity Sensor offers a variety of additional benefits, ranging from clear status detection to effortless installation and set-up. Its bright, 360° indicator light allows for sensor status to be seen at any angle, helping with troubleshooting and eliminating guesswork as to whether the sensor is powered and working. It also features quick-swap brackets to simplify installation and eliminate the need for re-adjustment. Additionally, the ER Series is a Factor 1 sensor, giving it the ability to detect any metal, whether ferrous or non-ferrous.

Conclusion: The innovative features of the ER Series, including long-range detection, durable design, 360° status indicators, etc. combine to provide advantages that are unmatched by other proximity sensors on the market. This sensor is setting a new standard in the industry with its ability to increase detection distance, improve reliability, and simplify installation.

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
