Compact Photoelectric Sensor CX-400 Ver.2
Panasonic — CX-400 Series
A compact general-purpose photoelectric sensor family available in thru-beam, retroreflective, diffuse-reflective and adjustable-range reflective configurations. It uses a modulated LED light source for reliable detection in dusty or wet environments. Version 2 lowers power consumption versus the prior generation while adding BGS/FGS sensing modes for glossy or uneven surfaces.
Key Features
- Five detection types (thru-beam, retroreflective, diffuse, adjustable-range reflective), NPN/PNP output
- Up to approx. 44% lower power consumption than the previous generation
- IP67-rated enclosure for wet and dusty environments
- Detects height differences down to 0.4 mm and films as thin as 10 microns
- Enhanced inverter noise-immunity circuitry
- Sensing range up to 30 m (thru-beam) / 3-5 m (retroreflective)
