Panasonic CX-421 Photoelectric Sensor
The Panasonic CX-421 Photoelectric Sensor is a high-performance diffuse reflective sensor designed for precise detection of opaque, translucent, or transparent objects. It boasts a sensing range of 300 mm (11.811 in), making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. With repeatability of 1 mm (0.039 in) and hysteresis of 15%, this sensor delivers accurate and consistent results. Powered by 12 to 24 V DC, it has a low current consumption of 13 mA or less, ensuring energy efficiency. The sensor's PNP open-collector transistor output and short-circuit protection provide robust functionality for seamless integration into industrial systems.
The Panasonic CX-421 Photoelectric Sensor features automatic interference prevention, allowing multiple sensors to be mounted in close proximity without affecting performance. Its IP67 protection rating ensures reliability in harsh environments, while the infrared LED with a peak emission wavelength of 860 nm ensures stable operation under varying ambient conditions. Ideal for tasks requiring rapid and precise detection, the CX-421 excels in applications that involve detecting moving objects or monitoring material handling.
