The EE-SX972-C1: Through-beam slot sensor in a T-shaped module. Senses objects through a 0.02 mm gap with 4 ms response time.
Chassis mount with M3 screws. Supply voltage is 30 V; switching current is 0.05 A.
The through-beam sensing type is less susceptible to dust and ambient light than retroreflective sensors, but the slot itself must stay clear of debris—periodic cleaning is expected in dusty environments.
The sensing distance (gap) is 0.02 mm. This is the maximum distance between the emitter and receiver in the slot; objects thinner than this may not be reliably detected.
The response time is 4 ms. This is the time from object entering the slot to output switching; for counting applications, the maximum throughput is about 250 objects per second.
