30 mm Slot / Groove Detection
E3S-GS30E2 Slot Photoelectric Sensor
A compact 30 mm groove-type photoelectric switch for repeatable pass-through detection. The E3S-GS30E2 helps detect labels, tabs, sheets, carriers and small parts when the target path is guided through the sensor slot.
30 mm slot | 12-24 VDC | Compact groove body
Stable Detection in a Fixed Slot Path
The E3S-GS30E2 is made for machines where the target can pass through a known groove position. The emitter and receiver are integrated into one body, so installation is simpler than aligning two separate through-beam sensors.
- 30 mm groove supports labels, sheets, tabs, carriers and small parts
- Integrated optical path reduces alignment and bracket adjustment work
- Good for feeding, counting, edge detection and position confirmation
- Compact slot body fits packaging machines, labelers and guide mechanisms

Built for Repeatable Interruption Signals
One-Piece Groove Design
Emitter and receiver stay aligned inside the sensor body, reducing setup time and long-term alignment drift.
Stable Counting and Positioning
When the target passes through the 30 mm slot, it interrupts the light path at a repeatable point for machine logic.
Compact Automation Use
Suitable for labelers, feeders, dispensers and compact equipment where the target movement is guided.

Where the E3S-GS30E2 Works Well
Use this model when the target path is guided and a stable interruption signal is required in a compact machine area.
Label and Tab Detection
Detect label edges, small tabs or flags as they pass through a controlled groove position.
Sheet and Film Feeders
Confirm thin material movement in feeding, dispensing or packaging equipment.
Small Part Counting
Count opaque parts moving through a chute, rail, feeder or transfer mechanism.
Workpiece Position Check
Verify that a carrier, plate or workpiece passes the required point before the next action.
Before Choosing This Sensor
The target should pass cleanly through the slot and block the internal beam. Confirm target thickness, path variation, speed and vibration before fixing the bracket.
Confirm the electrical logic
Different machines may require different output logic. Confirm NPN or PNP, normally open or normally closed, cable length and connector style before ordering.
- Target material, size, thickness and moving speed
- Available mounting space and target path direction
- PLC input type and required output logic
- Quantity, cable, connector, label and packaging requirements
Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the E3S-GS30E2 a reflective sensor?
No. It is a slot/groove photoelectric sensor. The target is detected when it passes through the groove and interrupts the internal beam.
What targets are suitable?
Opaque labels, sheets, tabs, carriers and small parts are suitable when they pass through the slot and block the light path reliably.
Can it connect to a PLC?
Yes. Confirm the controller input type and required output logic before wiring the sensor into the machine circuit.
Can XSZ support OEM requirements?
Yes. Send the quantity, cable length, connector, label and packaging requirements for factory evaluation.
Need Pricing or an E3S-GS30E2 Sample?
Send the target size, slot path, PLC input type and order quantity. XSZ will confirm the configuration before quotation.
