These Optical Sensors provide a compact, low-cost method to detect workpieces. Many models are available, including Slot-type Sensors (through-beam) for non-modulated or modulated light, Reflective Sensors, and Sensors with separate emitters and receivers.
Slot-type
The emitter and receiver are set in a U shape to enable easy handling.
EE-SX95
Meeting Customer Needs with Ultracompact Sensors that Mount with M3 Screws
EE-SPX303N / SPX403N
A Wide Slot Width of 13 mm and Superior Resistance to Light Interference and Noise.
EE-SX77 / SX87
Slim, Compact Photomicrosensor that is still easy to use.
EE-SX47 / SX67
Global Standard Slot-type photomicrosensors with 50- to 100-mA direct switching capacity.
EE-SX97
Built-in connector enables downsizing and easier connection. Protective circuit for safe operation.
EE-SPX74 / SPX84
Photomicrosensor with light modulation for reduced external light interference and a connector for easy maintenance.
EE-SPX-W
Photomicrosensor with built-in amplifier and attached cable reduces external light interference.
Through-beam
Through-beam Sensors have separate emitters and receivers to enable setting them at the required distance.
EE-SPW311 / 411
Stable measurement that is unaffected by workpiece changes. The simple setting for everyone.
EE-SPW321 / 421
Compact, Thin-profile Photomicrosensor with special amplifier.
Slot-type / Reflective
With Slot-type Sensors, the emitter and receiver are set in a U shape to enable easy handling. With Reflective Sensors, light is shown on the workpiece and reflected light is detected.
EE-SPX301 / 401, EE-SPY30 / 40
Photomicrosensor with light modulation is not influenced by external light.
Limited-reflective
Convergent Reflective Sensors detect workpieces that are only a specific distance from the Sensor. They can be effectively used when there are background objects.
EE-SPY31 / 41
Accurately detects objects placed in front of shiny Background.
Diffuse-reflective
With Reflective Sensors, light is shown on the workpiece and reflected light is detected.
EE-SY671 / 672
Photomicrosensor with sensitivity adjuster.
Retro-reflective
With Retro-reflective Sensors, a Reflector is set and the Sensor detects whether light is reflected back from the Reflector. They are effective for precise, stable detection.
EE-SPZ-A
Photomicrosensor with light modulation for reduced external light interference.
For Special Applications
Sensors are also available for special applications.
EE-SPX613
Liquid Level Photomicrosensor with operation mode and sensitivity selectors for easy application.
EE-SPY801 / 802
Photomicrosensors for detecting wafer-carrier mounting.
EE-SA701 / 801
Using a pushbutton enables accurately detecting difficult-to-detect objects.
