Omron is a globally recognized manufacturer of automation components, known for delivering reliable, compact, and precise sensing solutions. Their photoelectric sensors are trusted in industrial machinery, electronics, robotics, and packaging lines, offering consistent detection across challenging applications. The EE-SX series exemplifies Omronβs reputation for high-performance slotted sensors, purpose-built for limited-space detection with rapid response times.
The Omron EE-SX673-WR 1M is a throughbeam infrared sensor with a built-in 5 mm slot and an NPN output. It uses a 940 nm infrared LED and operates at 5 to 24 VDC, drawing just 12 mA. This sensor supports both Light-ON and Dark-ON modes, selectable to suit different applications. Designed with an integrated emitter and receiver in a compact PBT housing, it offers a fast, stable response even in environments with ambient fluorescent lighting. The unit is equipped with reverse polarity protection and load short-circuit protection, ensuring safe long-term operation. It is rated IP50 under IEC60529 standards and includes a visible incident light indicator for easy status monitoring.
The EE-SX673-WR 1M is ideal for detecting presence, edge, or movement of small parts on feeders, labelers, or mini conveyors. Its slim profile makes it suitable for installations in tight mechanical assemblies or automated pick-and-place systems. Common applications include PCB detection, cartridge alignment, or actuator positioning in industrial and laboratory automation.
