Omron B5W sensors are particularly effective at identifying black, transparent, reflective and other hard to detect services, and the new range also features enhanced performance in this area.

OMRON Automotive Electronics has become part of the Nidec group under the new name Nidec Mobility. Moving forward, the company will work closely with Nidec’s automotive motor business unit to develop new modules and systems that combine the motors, pumps and gears of the Nidec group with the electronic control units, and other electronic components, of Nidec Mobility.

Omron Electronic Components has added a wide angle 32 x 32 element version of its D6T MEMS Thermal Sensors, offering the widest field of view that Omron has ever delivered. The new Omron D6T-32L-01A can view across 90.0° by 90.0°, able to encompass a wide area such as a whole room from a single point. This high performance sensor offers contactless measurement of temperatures of 0-200ºC in ambient temperatures of -10-70ºC.

Omron Electronic Components Europe is demonstrating new MEMS based sensor solutions for building automation, digital signage and other environmental monitoring applications at EDS (Stand K32). Its team will also be available to discuss the full range of PCB relays and switches.

A new touch operated sensor launched by Omron Electronic Components Europe is a drop-in replacement for a mechanical switch, but delivers all of the reliability and flexibility of touch. Capacitive touch sensors deliver a great many benefits in terms of longevity and user-friendliness, but usually require careful work at the design stage and proper set up to ensure that they work reliably in the application.

Omron Electronic Components has launched a new Application Centre in Europe, as the next step in its long term Customer Value Generation Strategy. Located in Hoofddorp, Netherlands, the Application Centre is led by Tomonori Morimura, who has relocated from Japan to Europe to take up the position of Application Centre General Manager.

  A new miniature trigger switch for heavy duty control applications including industrial and domestic power tools has been introduced by Omron Electronic Components Europe. Its innovative design delivers dust, shock and vibration resistance within a very small overall size.

OMRON has released a total of 2,512 models of its DC 3-Wire E2E NEXT Series proximity sensors, which boast the longest sensing distances, newly equipped with IoT features. These sensors reduce risks of sudden facility stoppages down to a third. They also detect warning signs of such stoppages and notify users via the network. They help improve facility operation rates by preventing unforeseen facility stoppages and reducing facility down tim...

A new series of high-performance frequency inverters have been launched by Omron to meet the changing demands of system integrators, machine builders and manufacturers. The RX2 series help ensure productivity, quality and reliability, along with easy customisation. The inverters are designed for applications such as filling control, press working and tension control, for both permanent magnet (PM) motors and induction motors.

It has been announced that Omron Electronic Components Business Europe has extended its popular G2RL power relay family with a new extra high capacity 23A model, for switching the heaviest current loads in home appliance, industrial and HVAC applications.

It has been announced that Omron Electronic Components Europe is introducing its smallest ever microswitch with 5A rating. The new D2F-5 switch offers great ratings benefits and is very small at just 5.7x12.7mm and a height from 5.5mm depending on the operating lever chosen

It has been announced that Omron Electronics Components Europe is addressing the growing demand for contactless position and presence detection in industrial machinery, office automation and similar applications with the launch of a new range of exceptionally compact surface mount photo-microsensors.
