Omron E3Z-G61 5M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3Z-G61 5M is a grooved through-beam photoelectric sensor designed around a fixed 25 mm sensing gap. Its 940 nm infrared LED establishes the optical path between the transmitting and receiving elements, allowing a target to be sensed when it interrupts the beam inside the groove. The NPN output transfers the switching state to compatible machine-control circuitry, while selectable Light-ON and Dark-ON operation supports different control logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 5 m pre-wired cable for extended routing. Current consumption is specified at 25 mA maximum, while response time is 1 ms maximum. Within the E3Z Series, the E3Z-G61 5M provides extended wiring for 25 mm grooved photoelectric sensors across Omron Sensors.

The Omron E3Z-G61 5M Photoelectric Sensor uses a grooved through-beam arrangement with a fixed 25 mm sensing gap. Its 940 nm infrared LED establishes the optical path between the transmitting and receiving elements inside the groove, while interruption by a target produces the switching condition. The NPN output communicates this state to compatible industrial control equipment, and selectable Light-ON or Dark-ON operation supports different machine logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 5 m pre-wired cable for extended routing. Current consumption is specified at 25 mA maximum, while response time is 1 ms maximum. ABS and denatured polyarylate are listed as construction materials for this compact grooved configuration.
For an Omron grooved sensor requiring NPN output, a fixed 25 mm sensing gap, and extended fixed wiring, the relevant model is the E3Z-G61. The integrated groove establishes a predefined optical path and avoids the alignment work associated with separately mounted through-beam components. Selectable switching behavior supports different machine sequences, while the 12 to 24 VDC supply range suits common control systems. The supplied specification states IP64 enclosure protection. Its configuration also suits searches for an Omron 25 mm slot sensor and Omron 5 m grooved photoelectric sensor. The longer cable provides additional routing distance between the sensing position and control wiring. For the same E3Z-G61 sensing arrangement with a shorter 2 m pre-wired cable, see the E3Z-G61 2M.
