• Light source: Infrared LED with a peak wavelength of 940 nm.
• Operation mode: Selectable between Dark-ON and Light-ON.
• Output type: NPN open collector.
• Supply voltage: 5 to 24 VDC.
• Housing material: PBT.
• Response frequency: 1 kHz.
• Connection: Pre-wired with a 1-meter cable.
• Ingress protection: IP50.

Typical applications

The Omron EE-SX673-WR is a reliable sensor for precision-driven industries, commonly used in applications such as:

• Conveyor systems: Detecting the presence or movement of small parts.
• Feeders and labelers: Ensuring proper feeding or applying of components and labels.
• PCB detection: Verifying the presence and position of printed circuit boards.
• Robotics: Actuator positioning in pick-and-place automation setups.
• General automation: Detecting edges, counting objects, and general position sensing.
