Test the Best Photoelectric Sensors:

E67 Series Long Range Perfect Prox

Most photoelectric sensors on

the market today can reliably

detect light-colored, reflective

targets against high contrast,

dark-colored backgrounds. But

what if your application isn’t

“ideal?” What if you’re tasked

with sensing a multitude of dif-

ferent targets, all with their own

colors, sizes, texture or reflectiv-

ity? This is where most sensors

fail. The E67 Series Long Range

Perfect Prox, on the other hand,

was engineered from the ground

up with these difficult applica-

tions in mind.

The Highest Performing

Sensor in its Class

Background rejection sensors

are nothing new; they’ve been

on the market for decades.

Characterized by an ability to

detect objects at a certain dis-

tance while ignoring objects

beyond that range, background

rejection sensors are ideal for

applications where mounting a

reflector on the opposite side of

the sensor might not be ideal.

What differentiates the E67

Series is its ability to detect

objects that cause trouble for

most other sensors—like flat

black targets, highly translucent

targets, or off angle targets.

The E67 Series can see these

targets up to an unprecedented

eight feet, while completely

ignoring even highly reflective

objects just beyond that range.

Accuracy and Repeatability

The E67 Series doesn’t just

detect tough targets—it does

so with unmatched precision.

Unlike competitive units, the

E67 Series sees different targets

at nearly the exact same dis-

tance with almost zero variation.

See below for a comparison.

The E67 Series Long Range

Perfect Prox® sensor was

designed with one thing in

mind: solve the most dif-

ficult photoelectric sensing

applications. Through the

use of patented optics and

Perfect Prox technology,

the E67 Series can reliably

detect targets regardless

of material color, texture,

reflectance, contrast or sur-

face shape while ignoring

objects just slightly outside

the target range.

The E67 Series reliably detects targets in range, regardless of variations in color, reflectance, contrast or surface shape while ignoring objects just slightly outside the target range. The standard E67 sensor is conveniently pre-set with a six-foot range. Ranges of three to eight feet are available preset from the factory.
