L-shaped 5mm slot sensor with 1 kHz response, NPN output, and 1m robot cable. Compact infrared detection for CNC home positioning and high-speed packaging equipment.
The Omron EE-SX671-WR 1M is a highly reliable L-shaped slot-type photomicro sensor designed for industrial automation and precision detection applications. Featuring a 5mm sensing slot width and utilizing an infrared LED (940 nm) light source, it offers precise non-modulated through-beam detection. This model comes equipped with a 1-meter flexible robot cable, making it ideal for dynamic machinery with moving parts. It operates on a versatile 5 to 24 VDC supply voltage and provides an NPN output with selectable Dark-ON/Light-ON operation modes. With a high response frequency of 1 kHz and a durable Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing rated at IP50, the sensor ensures robust performance in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 55°C.

Integrating the sensor at the end-of-arm tooling to verify the presence or seating of micro-components before pick-and-place operations.
Moving robotic joints cause standard sensor cables to fatigue and snap; the built-in 1m flexible robot cable withstands continuous flex cycles while the 1 kHz response time allows rapid detection without slowing down the robot.
Utilizing the 5mm sensing slot to read a slotted timing disc on a rotating shaft for indexing packaged goods on a conveyor line.
Standard sensors miss high-speed timing slots. The 1 kHz maximum switching frequency ensures that fast-moving timing marks are accurately registered, while the wide 5-24 VDC input allows direct integration with the packaging machine's 24V PLC logic.
Deploying the sensor as a home position or over-travel limit switch for the Z-axis carriage of a compact automated milling machine.
Machine vibration and temperature variations can disrupt mechanical limit switches. The solid-state non-modulated infrared LED ensures reliable triggering, the L-shaped body allows compact mounting, and the IP50 rating with a -25°C to 55°C temperature range withstands the ambient conditions of the shop floor.
