Omron Components for Detection and Position Monitoring
Omron is a Japanese company established in 1933. Its industrial automation products include components for object detection, position monitoring and collecting machine operating data. This ASFERO page features Omron sensors and measurement components for production machinery, conveyors and assembly lines.
When selecting a product, check the complete manufacturer part number as well as the series. Housing design, sensing distance, output type and connection method can vary within the same series.
Omron Products in the ASFERO Catalog
- Photoelectric sensors — for contactless detection of parts, packaging, transparent objects and printed marks. Listed series include E3Z, E3ZM and E3FA/E3FB, as well as EE-SX fork-type photomicrosensors.
- Inductive sensors — for detecting metal objects and monitoring position without mechanical contact. Listed series include E2A, E2E, E2S and TL-W.
- Mechanical limit switches — for monitoring the position of moving machine parts. The catalog includes products from the D4B, D4N and D4C series, among others.
- Rotary encoders — for generating signals related to shaft rotation and position. Listed series include E6A2-C, E6B2-C and E6C.
How to Select an Omron Sensor
For a replacement, send the complete marking from the device or a photo of its nameplate. For a new application, describe the target object, operating distance, movement speed, required output, power supply and available mounting space.
- For a photoelectric sensor, consider the object's color, transparency and surface, the background, and the arrangement of the emitter or reflector.
- For an inductive sensor, specify the target material, working gap, housing size and mounting method.
- For a limit switch or encoder, check the mechanical connection, electrical specifications and operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I use to detect a metal part?
An inductive sensor is often suitable. Check the target material, operating distance, output type and mounting conditions before choosing a model.
Which sensor is suitable for transparent packaging?
Transparent objects require a suitable photoelectric sensor version. Provide the material, shape, movement speed and installation conditions for selection.
Is the series name enough to place an order?
No. A series can include many versions. Provide the complete manufacturer part number to check compatibility and request a price.
