Omron E3Z-D61 0.5M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3Z-D61 0.5M is a diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor for direct object sensing across a short range of 5 to 100 mm. Its 870 nm infrared LED directs light toward the target, and the returned optical signal provides the information used by the sensor without requiring a separate reflector. The NPN output transfers the switching state to compatible PLC inputs and machine-control circuitry. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required control logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 0.5 m pre-wired cable. Current consumption is specified at 30 mA maximum, while response time is 1 ms maximum. Within the E3Z Series, the E3Z-D61 0.5M provides the short-range diffuse configuration. Related infrared diffuse-reflective sensors are available across Omron Sensing Range.

The Omron E3Z-D61 0.5M Photoelectric Sensor uses diffuse-reflective sensing across a short 5 to 100 mm working range. Its 870 nm infrared LED sends light toward the target, while returned light supplies the optical information used by the sensor without requiring a separate reflector. The NPN output transfers the switching state to compatible PLC inputs and machine-control circuitry. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required control logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 0.5 m pre-wired cable. Current consumption is specified at 30 mA maximum, while response time is 1 ms maximum. Its square construction uses PBT and denatured polyarylate materials.
For an Omron diffuse-reflective sensor requiring NPN output and short-range object sensing, the applicable model is the E3Z-D61. The specified 5 to 100 mm working range supports close sensing where the target itself returns the infrared light to the sensor. IP67 enclosure protection is stated in the supplied specification. Its configuration also fits searches for an Omron 100 mm photoelectric sensor and Omron infrared diffuse sensor. Unlike the E3Z-B Series models in this batch, this sensor does not rely on a reflector and instead works from light returned directly by the target. For applications requiring reflector-based sensing of clear bottles, see the E3Z-B61 0.5M.
