Overview

The E2E-X1R5C18 2M is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor from Omron's E2E NEXT series, designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects at a range of 1.5mm. This M8 threaded cylindrical sensor features a 3-wire NPN normally open (NO) output and operates on a wide 10V to 30V DC supply range. With its rugged stainless steel housing and IP67/IP69K ratings, it is specifically engineered for reliability in harsh industrial environments including washdown applications.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers exceptional durability with a stainless steel body and high ingress protection (IP67 and IP69K) for extreme environments. Its high switching frequency of 2kHz allows for precise timing in fast-moving automation, while the wide operating temperature range of -40degC to 85degC ensures stability across varying climates.

Applications

High-Speed Counting
Utilizing its 2kHz response frequency to detect small metal parts on high-speed production lines.
Machine Tool Position Sensing
Monitoring the home position or end-of-travel limits for CNC axes and automated tool changers.
Food and Beverage Processing
Operating in washdown zones where IP69K protection against high-pressure water and steam is required.
Robotic End-Effector Feedback
Providing precise proximity feedback for robotic grippers to ensure proper workpiece alignment.

Getting Started

To integrate this sensor, connect the 2-meter cable leads according to the NPN wiring diagram: brown for +VCC (10-30V), blue for GND, and black for the load. Ensure the sensing face is clear of non-target metal to avoid interference, and use the included M8 nuts to secure the shielded body into a pre-drilled bracket or machine frame.
