Overview

The EE-SX670P-WR 1M is a PNP-output, through-beam optical slot sensor designed for precise position detection in industrial environments. Featuring a 5mm sensing gap and a wide supply voltage range from 5V to 24V, this sensor includes a 1-meter pre-wired cable for flexible installation. The module is housed in durable Polybutylene phthalate (PBT) and supports high-speed switching with a 1ms response time.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers high flexibility with its PNP open-collector output, making it compatible with most industrial PLCs and controllers. Its pre-wired 1-meter cable eliminates the need for separate connector assemblies, while the 50mA current rating and 1ms response time ensure reliable operation in high-speed automation tasks. The PBT housing provides chemical resistance and mechanical durability for chassis-mount applications.

Applications

End-of-Travel Detection
Ideal for limiting the movement range of linear actuators or CNC gantry axes by detecting the presence of a mechanical flag.
Rotary Encoder Indexing
Used to detect a single home position or index point on a rotating shaft equipped with an opaque disc.
Part Presence Sensing
Reliably detects the entry of small components or PCB edges into a specific stage of an automated assembly line.
Automated Sorting
Works within robotic pick-and-place systems to verify that a tool or component has been successfully picked based on beam interruption.

Getting Started

To integrate this sensor, connect the brown wire to a 5V to 24V DC source and the blue wire to ground; the black output wire will provide a PNP signal to your controller. Ensure the sensing flag is opaque and wide enough to fully interrupt the 5mm beam for reliable triggering. For logic-level interfacing with 3.3V or 5V MCUs, use a voltage divider or level shifter on the output if the supply voltage exceeds the MCU rating.
