The Omron E3Z-G61-M3J Photoelectric Sensor features a grooved-type sensing method with a fixed sensing distance of 25 mm, ideal for detecting opaque objects as small as 1.5 mm in diameter. Using a 940 nm infrared LED, it ensures accurate sensing even in tight spaces, making it suitable for part detection, labeling machines, and feeder systems. It operates on 12 to 24 VDC and offers reliable signal output through its NPN configuration.
The unit supports Light-ON/Dark-ON selectable modes, providing versatility in logic configurations. Its M8 4-pin connector simplifies electrical integration in compact enclosures or machines. Visual feedback is provided through an orange operation indicator, and the 1 ms response time enables use in fast-paced automation lines. Its compact ABS housing resists harsh conditions while maintaining precision.
Designed for industrial reliability, the Omron E3Z-G61-M3J Photoelectric Sensor offers IP64 protection and can withstand mechanical stress including shock up to 500 m/sΒ² and vibration across three axes. Built-in reverse polarity, short-circuit, and interference protection ensures consistent performance even in electrically noisy environments.
