OMRON EE-SX Series Photomicrosensors are global standard slot-type photomicrosensors designed for seamless switching between dark-ON and light-ON operation modes. These photomicrosensors ensure swift and efficient operation with a response frequency reaching up to 1kHz. The EE-SX series come with a flexible robot cable, enhancing their usability and flexibility in installation. These sensors operate within the voltage range from 5VDC to 24VDC with a direct switching capacity of 50mA to 100mA. Typical applications include office automation equipment, amusement equipment, healthcare equipment, home appliances, and vending machines.

Do you know what’s great about non-contact switches? There’s no contact! So there’s also no contact bounce or wear to worry about. So if you’re still using the typical snap action switch, you need to make the switch to OMRON’s EE-SX Series Photomicrosensors, also known as Optical Switches. The sensors are a low-cost, high-speed non-contact solution for presence, absence, and position detection with different body shapes and outputs to address nearly any application. EE-SX97 series sensors offer the smallest footprint and standard connector interface to minimize cost.
EE-SX77, 87, and 95 series sensors are pre-wired with either a standard or flexible robot cable and a have bright indicator lights viewable from multiple sides, so workers can have those important water cooler conversations while still monitoring operations. OMRON also offers all of the benefits of its Photomicrosensors in component form, with surface mount, through-hole, pre-wired, and connector variants, various gap widths, and other functional and mechanical options.
