Sensing distance and what it means on the line
The Omron E3ZM-CD82-M1TJ photoelectric sensor detects a white paper target (300 x 300 mm) at 1 m. That 1 m range is the rated sensing distance against a standard diffuse reflector — in practice, real-world targets (darker surfaces, angled materials) reduce the usable gap, so budget 70–80 % of the rated distance for reliable switching in a conveyor or packaging line.
