OMRON E3Z-D62 Photoelectric Sensor – High-Precision Diffuse Reflective Sensor for Industrial Automation, Object Detection & Conveyor Systems

Product Overview

The OMRON E3Z-D62 is a compact, built-in amplifier photoelectric sensor of the E3Z series, designed for diffuse reflective detection in industrial automation applications. It’s ideal for use in conveyor systems, object detection, parts presence checking, packaging lines, and general factory automation. With up to 1 meter sensing distance in diffuse mode, selectable light-ON/dark-ON modes, and robust IP67 housing, it offers dependable performance in demanding environments. 

Key stress points addressed:

• Built to resist dust and water (IP67) 

• Compatible with NPN output models (pre-wired cable) 

• Reliable at 1 ms response time, and supports both light-ON and dark-ON operation modes 

Key Features

• Diffuse Reflective Sensing (up to 1 m) — detects objects based on reflected light (no reflector needed) Built-in Amplifier — integrated electronics for simplified wiring and compact installation 

• Selectable Light-ON / Dark-ON Operation — user can choose detection logic mode depending on application 

• Rugged IP67 Housing — sealed against dust and water ingress, suitable for industrial environments Short Response Time (≤1 ms) — fast detection capability for high-speed conveyor or automation use Compact Build — small footprint: approx. 10.8 × 20 × 31 mm 

• Robust Electrical Protections — reverse polarity, short-circuit protection, mutual interference prevention Temperature & Ambient Light Tolerance — operates between –25 °C and +55 °C; tolerates up to 10,000 lx ambient light 

• Pre-wired 2 m Cable (standard) or optional connector models available 

Technical Specifications
