The Keyence ET-110 sensor head is a shielded, threaded M10 model engineered for precision detection of nonferrous metals in industrial automation and process monitoring. Its compact, threaded cylindrical design provides easy installation in confined areas while offering stable and repeatable performance in demanding conditions.

This sensor specializes in short-range detection with a measuring range of 0 to 2.0 mm, making it highly effective for applications that require close-up accuracy. It is specifically designed to detect nonferrous metals, with a standard aluminum target of 10 √ó 10 mm, t=1 mm serving as the benchmark for reliable detection. Such precision makes the ET-110 an ideal choice for high-resolution tasks such as part positioning, edge detection, and quality control in manufacturing environments.

To ensure maximum flexibility, the ET-110 incorporates a 15-turn trimmer for sensitivity adjustment, allowing operators to fine-tune detection settings based on application requirements. Additionally, a 1-turn trimmer for hysteresis adjustment (ranging from 2–10% of the detecting distance) provides further control, minimizing false triggering and enhancing operational stability. The unit also supports a response frequency of 300 Hz, making it suitable for high-speed processes that demand quick and accurate detection feedback.

Engineered for reliability, the ET-110 offers robust environmental resistance with an IP67 enclosure rating. It performs consistently within an ambient temperature range of 0 to +50 °C and can tolerate relative humidity levels between 35% and 85% without condensation. The sensor is built to withstand industrial stresses, with vibration resistance (10–55 Hz, double amplitude of 1.5 mm in X, Y, and Z directions) and shock resistance of 500 m/s² applied 10 times per axis, ensuring dependable operation even in dynamic environments.

The electrical specifications further emphasize its dependability. The sensor provides a control output of 100 mA max. (40 V max.) with a residual voltage of 1 V or less, ensuring efficient signal transmission. It also integrates protective features such as reverse polarity and surge absorber circuits, safeguarding both the sensor and connected devices against electrical anomalies. Operating on a 12 to 24 VDC supply with low current consumption (45 mA or less), the ET-110 is energy efficient while maintaining high performance.

Weighing approximately 58 g including its 3-meter cable, the ET-110 is lightweight yet durable. It comes with two mounting nuts for convenient installation, making it easy to integrate into new or existing setups without complication.

In summary, the Keyence ET-110 shielded sensor head delivers a combination of precision, flexibility, ruggedness, and reliability. Its ability to detect nonferrous metals at close range, coupled with advanced adjustment features and robust environmental resistance, makes it a dependable solution for industries requiring stable performance in compact and demanding sensing applications.
