element14 Introduces Omron Cylindrical Proximity Sensors for Industrial Manufacturing Solutions in Asia Pacific
High quality Omron sensors to handle the demands of engineers in robotics and industrial manufacturing

Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Friday, May 04, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- element14 (formerly Farnell), the first award-winning information portal, collaborative community and electronics store for engineers and electronics enthusiasts, introduces the Omron E2A series of Cylindrical Proximity Sensors. Ideal for use in robotics and industrial equipment these high quality sensors use a modular construction which allows a large range of flexible product options and customisation, whilst the sensors' durability provide extra long life support against the demands of daily use.

The Omron E2A series of Cylindrical Proximity Sensors, in DC 3-wire and DC 2-wire models, enable safe mounting with a long sensing distance up to 30mm - up to twice that of conventional Omron sensors. This helps prevent problems such as the collision of workpieces. A full range of standard sizes is available from element14 including M8, M12, M18 and M30.

Cylindrical Proximity Sensors use high-frequency oscillation to detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects, and in capacitive models to detect non-metal objects. They also resist heat, chemicals, and water better than rectangular sensors. The E2A series of sensors is IP67 and IP69k compliant for the highest protection in wet environments. Omron's strict manufacturing standards ensure that these genuine components available from element14 will deliver the highest standard of quality, performance and reliability.

Customers purchasing Omron's E2A series through element14 can also take advantage of the added value provided by its various application specific technical microsites including ones on robotics, sensing, instrumentation and measurement. These groups offer a unique resource of element14's proprietary intelligence and comprehensive technical knowledge and solutions for engineers, with easily accessible online tools to help electronics engineers significantly accelerate their engineering cycles and reduce time-to-market.

Omron's full offering of industrial automation products is available at its storefront on element14 - http://in.element14.com/omron
