The Omron E3Z-G61 2M Photoelectric Sensor employs a grooved-type sensing method to detect opaque objects with a minimum diameter of 1.5 mm. Featuring a 25 mm fixed sensing distance and a 940 nm infrared LED, it ensures accurate detection in confined spaces such as labeling machines, feeders, or part verification applications. Operating on 12 to 24 VDC and offering a reliable NPN output, this Product Type: Photoelectric Sensor is designed for fast and repeatable sensing tasks.
Its Light-ON/Dark-ON selectable mode allows for flexible configuration, while the pre-wired 2-meter cable simplifies installation. A clearly visible orange operation indicator provides real-time feedback, and its 1 ms response time makes it suitable for high-speed environments. The unit operates reliably under ambient lighting conditions up to 10,000 lx sunlight and maintains consistent performance in temperatures ranging from β25Β°C to 55Β°C.
Built with a robust ABS housing and rated IP64, the Omron E3Z-G61 2M Photoelectric Sensor offers solid protection against dust and light water exposure. It withstands vibration (1.5 mm double amplitude) and shock resistance up to 500 m/sΒ², making it suitable for tough industrial setups. It also features advanced circuitry for reverse polarity protection, short-circuit protection, and mutual interference prevention
