Product Overview
The Omron E3Z-B86 is a compact retro-reflective photoelectric sensor built to detect clear, thin-walled PET bottles on a conveyor or at a filler. It is manufactured by Omron Corporation. Hengyixin Automation ships this sensor from our Xiamen warehouse with a 30-day DOA return window and a datasheet PDF included in the box.

Buying Checklist
- Choose E3Z-R86 for shiny, mirror-like objects that need an MSR sensor.
- Choose E3Z-B86 for a PNP M8-connector retro sensor at a 500 mm range.
- Confirm an E39-R1S reflector and an XS3F-M42@-402-A M8 cordset are on the order.

FAQ for E3Z-B86
What is the difference between E3Z-B86 and E3Z-R86?
Both are cuboid E3Z retro-reflective sensors on an M8 4-pin connector, but they detect different targets. E3Z-B86 is the clear-bottle model without MSR, so it ignores internal reflections from thin PET. E3Z-R86 has MSR (polarised red light) and a 4 m range, so it suits shiny, mirror-like objects. Pick the B family for clear plastic; pick the R family for shiny surfaces.
What reflector and cable does the E3Z-B86 need?
The reflector is sold separately. Use the E39-R1S (40 × 60 mm) for the 500 mm range stated in the datasheet. For the M8 connector, add an XS3F-M421-402-A straight cordset or XS3F-M422-402-A right-angle cordset, both 2 m PVC. A 5 m PUR version (XS3F-M421-405-L) is available for low-temperature or washdown areas.
Can the E3Z-B86 detect coloured or opaque bottles too?
Yes, but it is tuned for clear plastic. A 500 ml clear round bottle is the standard test object, and the E3Z-B82 / E3Z-B87 pair gives 2 m for larger or further-away objects. For coloured glass or opaque containers, a standard E3Z-R retro-reflective sensor is usually a cheaper, longer-range choice.
