4. Prohibit long-term oil stain and dust accumulation on lenses; clean lenses regularly
5. Do not over-tighten M3 mounting screws to prevent housing cracking

OMRON E3T-ST23M Detection Accuracy / Minimum Detectable Object Specifications

1. 감지 가능한 최소 개체 (Core Accuracy Index)

Official specification: φ2 mm opaque solid object

Under standard light path at rated 300 mm 감지 거리, opaque objects with diameter ≥2 mm can trigger the sensor stably.

Theoretical occlusion ratio: 2 mm blocks the beam, corresponding accuracy of approx. 0.67% relative to effective beam diameter

2. Beam Spot Size (Affects Fine Detection Accuracy)

Transmitting divergence angle: 2°~20°, spot diameter approx. 6~8 mm at 300 mm 감지 거리

Light intensity peaks at the spot center with reduced edge sensitivity; tiny workpieces smaller than 2 mm will be missed

3. Repeat Positioning Accuracy (Switch Repeat Error)

응답 시간 1 ms with zero mechanical clearance inside the photoelectric sensor; electrical repeatability:

Trigger repeat error ＜0.01 mm (stable static detection)

Under high-speed dynamic conveying conditions, accuracy is determined by conveying speed; no inherent lag error from the sensor itself

4. Edge Fine Detection Explanation
5. Only suitable for presence detection, counting and position limit control, not for high-precision dimensional measurement;
6. This model lacks sufficient accuracy for detecting tiny 0.5~1 mm parts; select E3T-SL series narrow-beam through-beam or fiber optic sensors instead;
7. Thin transparent films and semi-transparent materials: 그만큼 2 mm standard does not apply, unstable detection will occur for light-transmitting workpieces.
8. Accuracy Limitations in Application

Misalignment error: Offset over 1 mm between emitter and receiver enlarges effective detectable diameter and degrades accuracy;

Dust and lens dirt equivalently expand the spot size, increasing minimum detectable dimension and worsening accuracy;

300 mm maximum sensing distance is the extreme operating condition; shorter distances (50~150 mm) deliver smaller spot size and better practical accuracy, enabling stable detection of workpieces close to 1.5 mm.

Nominal minimum detection accuracy: 2 mm 불투명 물체 (기준 300 mm distance)

Accuracy can be improved to approx. 1.5 mm with short-distance mounting;

Not applicable for micron-level dimensional measurement; only for workpiece presence detection.

Full Sensing Distance Specifications of OMRON E3T-ST23M

1. Rated Standard Sensing Distance (Official Nominal Value)

300 mm (0.3 중)

It belongs to short-range through-beam type in E3T-ST2 series; 손가락 “2” in model code represents 300 mm specification.

2. Valid Operating Range

Minimum installable distance: 5 mm (emitter and receiver cannot be tightly attached to avoid light path saturation)

Standard rated distance: 300 mm (optimal design installation distance with green stability indicator steadily lit)

Maximum detectable limit: Light margin decays rapidly beyond 300 mm; installation over 400 mm is highly susceptible to interference from dust, misalignment and vibration, long-term use is not recommended

Curve Description:

Only approx. 2× stability margin at 300 mm, just meeting the lower limit of stable detection;

Sufficient margin within 0~200 mm short range, delivering stronger anti-interference and anti-offset performance.

3. Sensing Distance Classification for Same-Series Through-Beam Models (빠른 선택 참조)

4. Distance Application Notes
5. 300 mm is the rated maximum limit; prioritize installation at 50~200 mm on-site for drastically improved detection stability;
6. Shorten installation distance for scenarios with multiple side-by-side sensors, heavy dust environment or severe equipment vibration;
7. Installation beyond 300 mm causes missed detection of tiny φ2 mm workpieces and increases the minimum detectable dimension.

Temperature Specifications of OMRON E3T-ST23M (Official Datasheet)

1. 작동 온도 (Powered Running)

-25 ℃ ~ +55 ℃

Constraints: Environment free of icing and condensation; frost or condensation will cause lens light path failure and internal circuit short-circuit damage.

-40 ℃ ~ +70 ℃

Storage under icing or condensation environments is also prohibited.

Supporting Humidity Reference

On-Site Usage Notes

1. For high-temperature operating conditions (>50 ℃), shorten sensing distance and reduce load current to avoid thermal drift of the sensor;
2. Under low-temperature conditions (<-20 ℃), avoid rapid cold-hot alternation of equipment to prevent lens frosting;
3. Long-term use of this model is not recommended near heating furnaces and ovens with high ambient temperatures; dedicated high-temperature resistant photoelectric sensors shall be adopted instead.
