Omron EE Photomicro Sensors
The Omron EE Photomicrosensor uses slot-type technology for fast and reliable object detection in automation applications. Designed with direct switching capacity up to 100 mA, these sensors deliver stable performance with a 1 kHz response frequency and a wide 5–24 VDC operating range. Compact and versatile, the EE Series supports both Dark-ON and Light-ON operation and includes a bright light indicator for simplified monitoring. Available in eight distinct shapes, these sensors ensure flexible mounting and precise detection across various automated systems. Developed by Omron under the Omron Photoelectric Sensors category.
The Omron EE Sensor Series covers a wide range of photomicrosensor and photoelectric sensor models, including EE-SPW, EE-SPX, EE-SPY, EE-SPZ, and EE-SX variants, each designed to meet specific detection requirements. These sensors are commonly used for position detection, object presence confirmation, paper detection, and mechanical motion monitoring in automation equipment. Slot-type models integrate the emitter and receiver into a single compact housing, ensuring accurate detection of small objects and thin workpieces. Reflective and through-beam types enable flexible installation where separation of sensing components is required. The EE series supports stable optical sensing with visible or infrared light sources and is engineered for consistent performance in standard industrial environments. With compact housings, multiple mounting options, and proven optical detection principles, Omron EE Photomicro Sensors are widely applied in packaging machines, printing equipment, electronic assembly lines, and precision automation systems.
