Omron EE-SX951-W 1M Photomicrosensor
Omron EE-SX951-W 1M is an L-shaped through-beam slot photomicrosensor designed around a fixed 5 mm sensing gap with a standard 1 m pre-wired cable. Its NPN output supports both Light-ON and Dark-ON operation, allowing the switching logic to be selected for the connected control circuit. The sensor operates from 5 to 24 VDC and consumes 15 mA, while the output supports up to 50 mA load current. A red light indicator provides visual operating status, and the non-modulated optical arrangement establishes the sensing position across the slot. The standard cable distinguishes this version from the robot-cable EE-SX951-R models. Within the EE Series, the EE-SX951-W 1M supports the L-shaped slot sensor range across Omron Sensors.

The Omron EE-SX951-W 1M Photomicrosensor uses an L-shaped through-beam sensing arrangement across a fixed 5 mm slot. Its NPN output supports both Light-ON and Dark-ON modes, allowing the switching state to be selected according to the required machine logic. The sensor operates from 5 to 24 VDC and consumes 15 mA. Maximum load current is specified at 50 mA, with residual voltage of 0.7 V maximum at a 50 mA load and 0.4 V maximum at a 5 mA load. A red light indicator provides operating status, while the optical arrangement is non-modulated. This version uses a standard 1 m pre-wired cable, distinguishing it from EE-SX951-R models equipped with robot cables.
The EE-SX951-W uses PBT for the case and cover, with polycarbonate specified for the emitter and receiver sections. Operating temperature ranges from -25°C to 55°C, while storage extends from -30°C to 80°C. Its mechanical ratings include vibration from 10 to 2,000 Hz under the specified procedure and shock resistance of 500 m/s² in each axis. The enclosure is rated IP50. The L-shaped geometry provides a defined sensing orientation, while the standard cable suits fixed wiring routes that do not require the robot-cable specification. For a related L-shaped model using a 1 m robot cable while retaining NPN output and both switching modes, refer to the Omron EE-SX951-R 1M.
