EE-SX953-W 3M

The EE-SX953-W 3M is an optical sensor from Omron which utilizes reflective slot type technology and has a transistor output to detect an object passing in front of its detection slot. It uses an infra-red light emitting diode (IRED) and a phototransistor as the input and output devices respectively.

Application Field

The EE-SX953-W 3M has a variety of applications, such as small parts detection, presence/absence detection, material feeding control, end position recognition and thickness measurement. It can also be used for detection in other optical sensing applications, such as automation and process control.

Working Principle

The EE-SX953-W 3M uses the principle of reflection when an object passes in front of its detection slot. When the object interrupts the beam of light emitted from the IRED, a signal will be sent to the phototransistor to indicate that the object is present. Since the travel time of the reflected light is the same as the travel time of the emitted light, the output signal will remain constant regardless of the object’s speed. The EE-SX953-W 3M can detect objects ranging from 0.2 mm to 1 mm in thickness.

Conclusion

The EE-SX953-W 3M is an optical sensor from Omron which utilizes reflective slot type technology with a transistor output for detection. It has a variety of applications, such as small parts detection, presence/absence detection, material feeding control, end position recognition and thickness measurement. The working principle of this sensor lies in the reflection of the beam of light emitted by the IRED when an object interrupts this beam, with a constant output signal regardless of the object’s speed.
