Omron Electronic Components Europe has launched PWM controlled versions of three of its most popular power relays offering coil power levels 75 to 90% lower than comparable standard versions.

Omron Electronic Components Europe has launched a new, extremely compact reflective photomicrosensor (PMS) with a sensing distance of three to four millimetres, plugging a gap in the market for an SMD device addressing applications such as 3D printers, mini printers, e-locks and factory automation equipment.

OMRON Industrial Automation Europe has signed a new distribution agreement with OnRobot, the Danish manufacturer of tools for collaborative robot (cobot) applications. This will enable OMRON to offer OnRobot’s products – which can be fully integrated with the OMRON TM cobot – to its customers in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

Omron Electronic Components Europe has announced that Tomonori Morimura has been appointed as its new Chief Operating Officer with full responsibility for the business in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Russia. He commences his role from the beginning of April based in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands.

OMRON Electronic Components Europe has announced a new addition to the B5W series of optical sensors. The new B5W-DB diffuse reflector sensor has a longer sensing distance of 550mm, longer than light convergent resistance sensors of the same size making it well suited for COVID safe user interfaces.

OMRON’s new i4L SCARA is a compact robot which offers strong performance at the lowest total cost of ownership. The i4L delivers quality along with scalability, preventative maintenance, and integration flexibility well above its class.

OMRON Electronic Components Europe has launched the G3VM – PSON, a compact MOSFET relay with high current capacity for industrial and test applications. With a high continuous load current, low leakage and small packing, the new relay lends itself to exciting applications in data loggers, communication devices and test equipment.

OMRON has launched a new E3AS-HL CMOS Laser Sensor with sensing technology that significantly improves detection capability. Reliable detection of difficult-to-detect targets helps eliminate the need for time-consuming installation design and adjustment at equipment commissioning.

OMRON Electronic Components Europe has announced a highly compact 500VDC power relay aimed at the pre-charge circuits in electric vehicle chargers, battery back-up systems for solar panels and other high current DC applications.

OMRON Electronics Components Europe has announced that it is supporting the roll-out of consumer electronics based on the USB-C type of I/O connector with the release of a new long-life, easy to use inspection and test socket.

OMRON has announced the launch of a ‘Robotic Integrated Controller’, the new NJ501-R, based on OMRON’s NJ series of machine controllers for industrial automation. With the integrated controller, it is possible to automate advanced and complex manual work and simulate the design and modification of production facilities in a virtual environment, and conduct maintenance remotely.

OMRON Electronic Components Europe has unveiled a new precision time-of-flight ranging sensor that delivers a convenient, modular solution offering positioning, autonomous-guidance, and proximity sensing for a wide range of applications.

OMRON has announced the global release of its new FH Series Vision system with defect detection AI technology that identifies defects without learning samples. This artificial intelligence technology, which reproduces human sensibility and the techniques of skilled inspectors, reliably detects defects that were once difficult to capture, automating human vision-based visual inspection.

Omron has announced that it is supporting the safe reopening of spaces after lockdown with a wide range of optical sensors. These components can form a vital part of an effective infection control regime within buildings, rooms and even crowd-controlled spaces by monitoring body temperature measurement, counting the density of people in an area and reducing the need to touch surfaces.

OMRON has announced the launch of the HD-1500, the strongest and newest addition to the company’s series of mobile robots. The new HD-1500 boasts a heavy payload capacity of up to 1,500kg.

In the fight against the coronavirus, speed and close co-operation are required. This is why Senova, a German developer and manufacturer of rapid COVID-19 test systems for biomarkers, viruses and microorganisms, decided to use the robotics expertise of Omron to enhance its production process.

Omron Electronic Components Europe has announced that it has expanded its UK distribution network with the appointment of Easby Electronics. Easby will focus especially on Omron’s innovative sensor solutions in support of its strategy to develop a portfolio of IoT building blocks.

Omron Electronic Components has announced its Human Vision Sensor aimed at retailers. The Nexmosphere X-Eye Gender sensor captures age and gender for those standing in front of interactive displays and digital signage, allowing content to be tuned appropriately whilst complying fully with GDPR regulations

In a world first for semiconductor and other test equipment, Omron Electronic Components Europe has created a MOSFET relay module that minimises leakage current. With a T- circuit structure, the Omron G3VM-21MT offers an exceptionally low leakage current of just 1pA (pico-Amp) or less, giving accurate measurements in all types of test equipment.
