15m through-beam sensor with 1ms response, NPN output, and IP67 protection. Optimized for vehicle positioning and pallet detection in automated warehouses.
The Omron E3Z-T61 2M is a compact, high-performance through-beam photoelectric sensor equipped with a built-in amplifier. Engineered for precise object detection in industrial automation, it delivers a long sensing range of up to 15 meters. The sensor operates on a 12 to 24 VDC power supply and features an NPN open collector output with selectable Light-ON/Dark-ON modes. Constructed with a rugged PBT plastic cuboid housing that provides an IP67 protection rating, this device guarantees durability and resistance against dust and water ingress in challenging environments. It utilizes an infrared LED light source and includes a 2-meter pre-wired cable for dependable electrical connectivity.

Detecting the presence or absence of opaque items moving rapidly across wide conveyor belts in high-volume packaging or logistics facilities.
Prevents material jams and miscounts by reliably identifying items traversing the line, providing a fast signal to the PLC to precisely trigger downstream sorting actuators.
Verifying the clear path and proper positioning of pallets within deep storage racks of automated warehousing environments prior to crane insertion.
Ensures the crane or robotic shuttle does not collide with misaligned pallets by sweeping the storage bay with an infrared beam before inserting or extracting heavy loads.
Detecting the presence of large transport vehicles approaching automated industrial gates, loading dock levelers, or outdoor wash stations.
Reliably identifies vehicles regardless of exterior color or reflectivity (due to the through-beam design) to trigger automated sequences, operating smoothly even in sunlit or dusty environments.
