Omron EE-SX953-W 1M Photomicrosensor
Omron EE-SX953-W 1M is an R-shaped through-beam slot photomicrosensor built around a fixed 5 mm sensing gap with a standard 1 m pre-wired cable. The NPN output supports both Light-ON and Dark-ON modes, allowing the switching logic to be selected for the connected control circuit. The sensor operates from 5 to 24 VDC and consumes 15 mA, while the output supports a maximum load current of 50 mA. A red light indicator provides operating status, and the optical arrangement is non-modulated. Its standard cable distinguishes this version from the robot-cable EE-SX953-R while retaining the same R-shaped geometry. For fixed-wiring R-shaped sensing, the EE-SX953-W 1M belongs to the slot sensing sensor range from Omron Automation Sensors.

The Omron EE-SX953-W 1M Photomicrosensor uses an R-shaped through-beam arrangement across a fixed 5 mm sensing gap. Its NPN output supports both Light-ON and Dark-ON operation, allowing the switching state to match the required machine-control logic. The sensor operates from 5 to 24 VDC and consumes 15 mA. Maximum load current is specified at 50 mA, while residual voltage is 0.7 V maximum at 50 mA and 0.4 V maximum at 5 mA. A red light indicator provides visual operating status, and the non-modulated optical arrangement establishes a defined sensing point. Electrical connection is provided through a standard 1 m pre-wired cable for fixed wiring routes.
The EE-SX953-W uses PBT for the case and cover together with polycarbonate emitter and receiver sections. Its operating temperature range is -25°C to 55°C, while storage extends from -30°C to 80°C. Mechanical resistance includes vibration from 10 to 2,000 Hz under the stated test procedure and shock resistance of 500 m/s² in each axis. The enclosure carries an IP50 rating. Its R-shaped geometry and standard cable suit compact fixed installations where robot-grade wiring is not required. For a related R-shaped version retaining the same 5 mm slot and NPN output but using a 1 m robot cable, refer to the Omron EE-SX953-R 1M.
