The Omron EE-SPW321 is a compact through-beam photomicrosensor with a built-in amplifier, offering precise object detection up to 300 mm. It comes pre-wired with a 2 m cable and a 0.5 m emitter-to-amplifier connection, making it easy to install in space-constrained setups.
This model operates in Dark-ON mode and features an NPN open collector output, supporting up to 100 mA load current. The integrated red LED indicators on both the sensor and amplifier enable quick status checks. With a fast 1 ms response time and low 30 mA current consumption, it delivers consistent performance in industrial automation tasks.
Built from durable ABS resin and rated IP64, the EE-SPW321 withstands harsh environments, including temperature ranges from -20Β°C to 55Β°C. Itβs a reliable choice for applications in packaging, part detection, and machine positioning systems.
