PANASONIC CX-413 — Through-Beam Sensors
Thru-beam compact photoelectric sensor from the Panasonic CX-400 Ver.2 series: 30 m sensing range, infrared LED, NPN or PNP output, 2 ms response time, IP67.
Status: In production
Brand: Panasonic
Product: Thru-beam compact photoelectric sensor
Series: CX-400 Ver.2
Sensing range: 30 m
Emitting element: Infrared LED (850 nm)
Output: NPN (CX-413) / PNP (CX-413-P)
Response time: ≤ 2 ms
Degree of protection: IP67
Supply voltage: 12–24 V DC
CX-413 is the long-range thru-beam model of Panasonic’s CX-400 Ver.2 compact photoelectric sensor series. The emitter and receiver are separate units mounted facing each other; the output changes when the infrared LED (850 nm) beam between them is interrupted. It detects opaque objects of Ø12 mm or more at a sensing range of 30 m; with the optional round slit mask fitted, objects of Ø0.5 mm can be detected.
The output is ordered as NPN open-collector (CX-413) or PNP open-collector (CX-413-P); Light-ON / Dark-ON operation is switchable, response time is 2 ms or less and short-circuit protection is incorporated. Sensitivity is continuously adjustable on the receiver. It comes with a PBT enclosure, IP67 protection and a 2 m cable, which can be extended up to a total of 100 m with 0.3 mm² or thicker cable.
