Omron E3Z-G62 0.5M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3Z-G62 0.5M is a grooved through-beam photoelectric sensor designed around a fixed 25 mm sensing distance. Its 940 nm infrared LED establishes the optical path across the groove, while interruption by a target creates the switching condition processed by the sensor. The NPN output transfers this state to compatible industrial control circuitry, and Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required machine sequence. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 0.5 m pre-wired cable for short connection runs. Current consumption is specified at 25 mA maximum, while response time is 1 ms maximum. Within the E3Z Series, the E3Z-G62 0.5M provides a short-cable option for fixed-gap photoelectric sensors across Omron Automation Sensors.

The Omron E3Z-G62 0.5M Photoelectric Sensor uses a grooved through-beam arrangement with a fixed 25 mm sensing distance. Its 940 nm infrared LED establishes the optical path across the groove, while a target passing through the slot interrupts the beam and creates the switching condition. The NPN output transfers this state to compatible industrial control equipment, while selectable Light-ON and Dark-ON operation supports different control requirements. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 0.5 m pre-wired cable. Current consumption is specified at 25 mA maximum, while response time is 1 ms maximum. ABS and denatured polyarylate are listed as construction materials, supporting its compact fixed-gap configuration.
For an Omron grooved photoelectric sensor requiring NPN output and short fixed wiring, the relevant model is the E3Z-G62. The 25 mm slot provides a defined sensing position, reducing mechanical alignment work compared with separate through-beam components. Selectable Light-ON and Dark-ON switching supports different machine sequences, while operation from 12 to 24 VDC suits common DC control systems. The supplied specification states IP64 enclosure protection. This model also fits searches for an Omron 25 mm slot sensor and Omron compact NPN grooved sensor. The short 0.5 m cable suits machines where the electrical connection is positioned close to the sensing point. For the same E3Z-G62 arrangement with a longer 2 m pre-wired cable, see the E3Z-G62 2M.
