The Omron EE-SPY312 is a vertical light convergent reflective photomicrosensor designed for short-range, high-precision object detection. It operates within a 2 to 5 mm sensing range, optimized for reflective targets such as white paper or flat surfaces.
Featuring a modulated light source for noise immunity, the sensor operates in Dark-ON mode and delivers an NPN voltage output with minimal residual voltage. Its peak current is 50 mA, with a low average consumption of 15 mA, making it energy-efficient. A red LED indicator provides clear feedback during operation, and the connector-type design ensures easy installation.
Encased in durable polycarbonate and PBT housing, the EE-SPY312 is built to withstand industrial environments. With an IP50 rating and resistance to vibration and shock, it functions reliably in temperatures from -10Β°C to 55Β°C. Ideal for label detection, edge alignment, and small object positioning.
