OMRON Widens Industrial Automation Component Availability for Discrete Manufacturing and Process Control

August 13, 2026 — OMRON continues to deliver reliable control‑grade components supporting factory automation, packaging equipment, material‑handling machinery and general‑purpose industrial control systems, with steady global supply of its proven timer, relay, solid‑state relay and photomicrosensor product linesOmron Auto....

The widely‑adopted H3Y‑2 on‑delay solid‑state timer offers compact timing control for sequence logic. Featuring a transparent adjustment dial, the H3Y‑2 fits standard socket mounting and provides flexible time‑range selection for machine delay, interlock and cycle‑control tasks across small‑scale automation setupsOmron Auto....

For multi‑channel signal switching, the G6B‑4BND terminal relay module delivers four independent relay outputs with built‑in surge‑suppression diodes and status LED indicators. Designed for dense cabinet layouts, this module supports 5 A switching capacity at 250 VAC, serving PLC output expansion, valve drive and auxiliary load switching for automated machinery.

OMRON’s solid‑state relay portfolio covers resistive‑load and heater‑control applications with G3PE‑215B and G3NA‑210B. The G3PE‑215B is a DIN‑rail‑mount single‑phase SSR with integrated heat sink, rated 15 A at 100‑240 VAC, zero‑cross switching and strong surge withstand capability for heater ON/OFF regulation. Complementing it, the G3NA‑210B provides 10 A solid‑state switching in a compact footprint for general‑purpose resistive‑load control without mechanical contact wearOMRON Euro....

On the sensing side, OMRON’s miniature photomicrosensors remain core building‑blocks for position detection, part counting and door‑interlock functions. The EE‑SX670 and EE‑SX471 slot‑type photomicrosensors support 5‑24 VDC supply, high‑speed response and NPN/PNP output options for equipment internal detection. The reflective‑type EE‑SPY411 completes the sensing lineup, bringing compact reflective photo‑sensing for small‑object presence detection in space‑constrained device interiors.

“Reliable basic control components are the foundation of stable machine operation. These OMRON series combine long‑term field‑proven performance, compact mechanical form factors and compliance with major international safety standards, helping equipment builders shorten design cycles and lower field‑failure risks,” said an OMRON product‑marketing spokesperson.

Target vertical markets include packaging machinery, conveyor systems, semiconductor auxiliary equipment, laboratory automation and general factory discrete‑control. All listed models conform to RoHS requirements and carry UL, CSA and relevant EU certifications for global machine deploymentOMRON Fact....

Distributors report stable stock levels for H3Y‑2, G6B‑4BND, G3PE‑215B, G3NA‑210B, EE‑SX670, EE‑SX471 and EE‑SPY411, supporting both new‑build machinery and aftermarket replacement‑part demands worldwide.
