Omron is a leading name in industrial automation, trusted globally for its dependable sensor technologies. Their slot-type photomicrosensors are engineered for compact spaces and applications where high-resolution object detection is essential. From packaging to electronics assembly, Omron sensors are recognized for their precision, reliability, and ease of integration into control systems.
The Omron EE-SX474 is a throughbeam slot-type photomicrosensor with a 5 mm slot width. It uses an infrared LED at 940 nm for stable detection and operates on a wide voltage range of 5 to 24 VDC. The sensor outputs NPN signal via a 4-pole connector and is optimized for light-ON operation. With a current consumption of just 12 mA, the EE-SX474 is ideal for energy-efficient sensing in high-density applications. Its compact body is made of PBT material, and the sensor holds an IP50 rating, suitable for dry, clean environments. Built-in short-circuit protection and resistance to vibration and shock enhance operational durability in demanding industrial settings.
Applications for the EE-SX474 include detection of thin objects, part presence confirmation, and position sensing in automated mechanisms. It performs reliably under ambient lighting conditions up to 1,000 lx and maintains accuracy even in challenging mechanical setups. Thanks to its close-mounting form factor and fast switching response, it supports high-speed operations in PLC-controlled systems.
