Omron E3ZM-V61 2M Compact Color Mark Photoelectric Sensor

Model Identifier E3ZM-V61
Official Part Number E3ZM-V61 2M
GTIN Standard NA

Technical Overview

The Omron E3ZM-V61 2M is a compact color mark detection photoelectric sensor designed for high-hygiene and harsh washdown environments. It utilizes a diffuse-reflective, coaxial optical system with a white LED light source to provide reliable mark detection at a sensing distance of 12±2 mm. Encased in a rugged SUS316L stainless steel housing with a PMMA lens and PES display cover, the sensor is highly resistant to detergents and disinfectants. It features an ultra-fast response time of 50 µs max, an NPN output, and comes with a 2-meter pre-wired PVC cable.

2. High-Speed Label Dispensing & Verification

Integrated into labeling machines to accurately identify label gaps or specific color registration marks at very high machine speeds to prevent misalignment.

Problem Solved

High-speed labeling requires split-second detection that many standard photoelectric sensors miss. The 50 µs response time and focused 2-mm spot diameter eliminate false triggering.

3. Pharmaceutical Tube Sealing Orientation

Employed to detect printed colored registration marks on the tails of plastic or aluminum pharmaceutical tubes, guaranteeing that the tube is oriented correctly before the crimping or sealing station.

Problem Solved

Detecting fine marks on curved, reflective tubes can cause scattering. The coaxial optical system and teaching color mode provide stable, high-contrast mark detection regardless of tube material.
