Panasonic CX-481 Photoelectric Sensor
The Panasonic CX-481 Photoelectric Sensor is a high-performance photoelectric sensor designed for precise object detection in a variety of industrial automation applications. With a sensing range of 50 to 500 mm (1.969 to 19.685 inches), it provides reliable and accurate detection of transparent, translucent, or opaque objects. The sensor operates with a modulated infrared LED, ensuring stable detection even under fluctuating ambient conditions.
Equipped with an NPN open-collector transistor output, the CX-481 offers a response time of 1 ms, making it ideal for high-speed applications. The sensor is IP67 rated, offering excellent protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. The CX-481 sensor is designed to work in environments with temperatures ranging from -25°C to +55°C (-13°F to +131°F), ensuring stable performance across a wide range of conditions.
