Features
Industry TopA Sensor with Stainless Steel Housing That's Strong, Compact, and Easy to Use!
Resists Oils and Coolants
The E3ZM-C features a simple shape
and structure, and yet provides IP67
protection and oil resistance (oil
resistant to OMRON in-house
standard). This performance exceeds
any previous models from OMRON.

The protective structure eliminates the

need for screws to hold a cover, so
there are no worries about loose
screws leading to liquid penetration.

Long-distance Operation Even in Dusty, Br ight Orange Spot
Dirty Environments
The E3ZM-CT@2B uses a bright orange LED to generate
a spot that's visible 1 m away. And the sensing distance of
20 m provides more leeway in detection (response time:
2 ms). It all adds up to a more visible, more dependable
worksite. 1m

World's Smallest, and Yet Robust Patent Pending

The E3ZM-C is the same compact size as the E3Z, making
it the smallest square metal photoelectric sensor in the
world (according to OMRON investigation).

The SUS316L housing makes it robust, and removes all

*Models numbers for Through-beam Sensors (E3ZM-CT@@(-M1TJ)) are for sets that include both the Emitter and Receiver.
The model number of the Emitter is expressed by adding "-L" to the set model number (example: E3ZM-CT61-L 2M), the model number of the Receiver, by adding "-D"(example:
E3ZM-CT61-D 2M.) Refer to Ordering Information to confirm model numbers for Emitter and Receivers.
