The E2EQ-X6C212 5M: This M12 shielded sensor from the E2EQ NEXT line serves up the same long-distance sensing core as the E2E NEXT but with a fluororesin coating that resists slag adhesion—relevant if the sensor lives near weld splatter or cutting debris. Output is NPN normally-closed (NC), 3-wire DC, accepting 10–30 VDC supply. The short body and brass case fit standard M12 mounting holes; the 5 m PVC cable eliminates the need for a separate field-attachable connector.
Sealing is IP67 and IP67G—the G suffix indicates oil resistance, so the sensor tolerates coolants and cutting oils in machine-tool environments. The shielded construction allows flush mounting in metal without derating the 6 mm sensing distance.
