Omron, a pioneer in industrial sensing technology, is renowned for developing reliable sensors that enhance automation performance and precision. Their slot sensors are widely used for object positioning, edge detection, and presence verification across industries like packaging, electronics, and assembly automation. The EE-SX series exemplifies Omronβs commitment to durability and high-speed detection in compact spaces.
The Omron EE-SX472 is a T-shaped slot sensor that features a 5 mm slot width and 7 mm slot center, enabling accurate through-beam sensing without external alignment. It uses an infrared LED with a peak wavelength of 940 nm to detect objects reliably, even under varying light conditions. Powered by a 5β24 VDC supply, the sensor offers NPN output and connects via a 4-pole connector. Built with a durable PBT body and protected under IP50 rating, it includes safeguards like load short circuit protection and is resistant to vibrations and shocks common in industrial setups.
The EE-SX472 is ideal for applications like label detection, edge positioning, gear tooth counting, and detecting transparent or small parts on production lines. Its small form factor and fixed slot design eliminate the need for manual beam alignment, making it easy to install and maintain. With Omronβs trusted quality and responsive sensing, this model ensures improved workflow accuracy and consistent equipment uptime.
