CX-400 photoelectric sensor

For the CX-400 series, the user has a large selection of ultra compact photoelectric sensors at his disposal. The series includes three thru-beam, five retroreflective, four diffuse reflective and three trigonometric types with foreground/background suppression. With its new ASIC (application specific integrated circuit), the sensors require up to 60% less energy than before.

Characteristics:

• Three thru-beam, five retroreflective, eight reflective types
• Light ON/Dark ON modes
• Short-circuit protected
• IP67 degree of protection
• Up to 60% less power consumption

The five retroreflective types offer not only various sensing distances of up to 5m (CX-493), but they are also extremely compact. The CX-491 features a polarizing filter and visible beam spot for detecting reflective objects, while the three types with less hysteresis - CX-481, CX-482 and CX-483 - reliably detect transparent objects. When the sensors are mounted closely together, interference prevention kicks in.

Accessories:

• Sensor mounting bracket
• For M8 connector types: Cable lengths of 2 or 5m

The trigonometric type with switchable foreground/background suppression has four different models to offer. Besides the one with a beam spot of 2mm in focus, models with sensing ranges of up to 300mm are available.
