Omron EE-SX953-R 1M Photomicrosensor
Omron EE-SX953-R 1M is an R-shaped through-beam slot photomicrosensor designed around a fixed 5 mm sensing gap with a 1 m robot cable. Its NPN output supports both Light-ON and Dark-ON operation, allowing the switching response to suit different machine-control requirements. The sensor runs 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 status, and the non-modulated optical arrangement establishes the sensing point across the slot. The R-shaped body provides a distinct mounting form, while the robot cable supports installations where wiring movement may occur. Within the EE Series, the EE-SX953-R 1M sits within the R-shaped slot sensor range across Omron industrial automation.

The Omron EE-SX953-R 1M Photomicrosensor uses an R-shaped through-beam arrangement with a fixed 5 mm sensing slot. Its NPN output supports both Light-ON and Dark-ON modes, allowing the switching response to suit different control requirements. The sensor operates from 5 to 24 VDC and consumes 15 mA. Maximum load current is 50 mA, while residual voltage is specified at 0.7 V maximum at a 50 mA load and 0.4 V maximum at 5 mA. A red light indicator provides operating status, and the optical arrangement is non-modulated. A 1 m robot cable provides the electrical connection, making this version suitable where the cable route may experience repeated movement around the sensing position.
The EE-SX953-R uses PBT for the case and cover and polycarbonate for the emitter and receiver sections. Operating temperature ranges from -25°C to 55°C, while storage is specified from -30°C to 80°C. The stated mechanical ratings include vibration from 10 to 2,000 Hz and shock resistance of 500 m/s² under the specified test procedure. The enclosure is rated IP50. Its R-shaped body gives a different mounting form from F-shaped and U-shaped EE-SX95 options, while the robot cable supports moving cable routes. For the related R-shaped model with a standard 1 m pre-wired cable instead, see the Omron EE-SX953-W 1M.
