Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 8mm slot width specification of the EE-SX4070 and how does it affect object detection?
The EE-SX4070 provides an 8mm wide slotted aperture allowing object detection with high precision positioning accuracy, typically within 2mm from the slot plane. This 8mm width is optimized for detecting paper thickness (0.1-0.5mm) and object position in office equipment, enabling accurate jam detection and sheet counting in production systems.
How does the through-hole mounting style benefit industrial automation equipment integration?
The EE-SX4070's through-hole package enables mechanical mounting directly into equipment housing with metal screws and brackets, providing robust vibration resistance and environmental sealing compared to surface mount alternatives. This mounting style supports 10+ million mechanical cycles typical of high-volume copier and conveyor applications.
What is the typical output response time and sensing distance of the EE-SX4070 optical switch?
The EE-SX4070 delivers response times under 2ms with a typical sensing distance of 5mm to 15mm depending on reflective surface properties. These specifications enable real-time object detection in document transport systems operating at speeds up to 100 sheets per minute.
Is the EE-SX4070 suitable for replacement in legacy copier and scanner equipment?
Yes, the EE-SX4070 is widely used as a direct replacement component in legacy and current-generation office equipment, with production documented over 20+ years. It remains available from distributors worldwide and provides drop-in compatibility with existing mechanical designs and circuitry.
