The Omron EE-SPW421 is a reliable through-beam photomicrosensor equipped with a built-in amplifier, designed for accurate detection over a 300 mm range. It features a 0.5 m cable between the emitter and amplifier and a total cable length of 2 m, making it suitable for compact installations.
This sensor operates in Light-ON mode, triggering the output when the beam path is clear. It uses a modulated light source and provides an NPN open collector output with a residual voltage of 1 V max at 100 mA. With just 30 mA average current consumption and a 1 ms max response time, it ensures stable and efficient performance.
Encased in a durable ABS resin housing and rated IP64, the EE-SPW421 handles industrial conditions with ease. It includes built-in LED indicators and functions reliably across a wide temperature range, making it ideal for packaging, automation, and part detection systems.
