The OMRON EE-SY1201 is an exceptionally compact reflective Photomicrosensor (PMS) with a sensing distance of 3-4mm. A Photomicrosensor, also known as a photointerrupter, is a compact optical sensor that senses objects or object positions. These compact optical devices sense objects or object positions using an optical beam. Photomicrosensors (photointerrupters) are commonly used for object presence and absence detection, disk rotation counting, positioning of moving objects and rotating direction detection.
The EE-SY1201 PMS has been designed to address demand in the market for a surface-mount (SMD) device, OMRON have recognised there is increasing pressure on system size and see a definite market trend to move from leaded PMS solutions to SMD. There is also a real need for a miniature device with a mid-range 3-4mm sensing distance, this new device achieves this mid-range sensing distance within a compact form factor, it achieves this by utilising a built-in lens.
Internal Circuit
The EE-SY1201 miniature SMD PMS is ideal for a wide range of applications including 3D printers, mini printers, e-locks and factory automation equipment. Its diminutive size, of just 3mm x 4mm x 2mm, offers a peak sensing distance of 3mm, so typical applications could include paper pass detection in mini-printers, pin or cylinder rotation in e-locks, media pass detection in cutting machines and filament rotation in 3D printers; alternatively, factory automation equipment and industrial cameras.

For shorter sensing distances, OMRON also offer the EESY1200 which has a sensing distance of just 0.5mm.
