Wide variety of 116 models

You can find your desired sensors among the CX-400 series because of their high basic performance, superior cost performance, and wide variation of types.

Notes:
1) The adjustable range reflective type includes the cable type and M8 connector type only.
2) The adjustable range reflective type includes the 2 m 6.562 ft cable type (standard) only.

Strong against oil and coolant liquids [CX-41□/42□/49□]

The lens material for the thru-beam type, retroreflective type (excluding the CX-48□) and the diffuse reflective type are made of a strong acrylic that resists the harmful effects of coolants.
These sensors can be used with confidence even around metal processing machinery that disperses oil mists. The protection mechanism also conforms to IP67 (IEC).

Strong against ethanol

A strong, ethanol resistant polycarbonate was used for the front and display covers.
Safe even for installing near food processing machinery that disperses ethanol based detergents. The protection mechanism balso conforms to IP67 (IEC).

Caution:
Set the CX-48□ so that cleaning liquid will not get on to the attached reflector.

Strong infrared beam [CX-412]

The longest in its class, it realizes a 15 m 49.213 ft long-distance sensing range. Remarkable penetrating ability enables applications such as package content detection. (Note)

Note:
When sensing with its penetrating ability, make sure to verify using the actual sensor.

Can sense differences as small as 0.4 mm 0.016 in, with hysteresis of 2 % or less [CX-441/443]

An advanced optical system provides sensing performance that is 2.5 times approx. than conventional models. Even ultra-small differences of 0.4 mm 0.016 in can be detected accurately.

Hardly affected by color [CX-441/443]

Both black and white objects can be sensed at the same distances. No adjuster control is needed, even when products of different colors are moving along the production line.

Retroreflective type with polarizing filters [CX-491]

Built-in polarizing filters ensure stable sensing even on a specular object.

Introducing the transparent object sensing type sensor

Our unique optical system and transparent object sensing circuitry provide table sensing of even thinner ransparent objects than the conventional models.

Transparent objects detectable with CX-48□ (Typical examples)

Reflector setting range
CX-481: 300 to 500 mm 11.811 to 19.685 in, CX-482: 1 to 2 m 3.281 to 6.562 ft
[with the RF-230 reflector at the optimum condition (Note)]
Each object should pass across the beam at the center between the sensor and the reflector.
l: Length of cylindrical glasses
t: Thickness of sensing object
Note:
The optimum condition is defined as the condition in which the sensitivity level is set such that the stability indicator just lights up when the object is absent.

Long sensing range of 5 m 16.404 ft [CX-493]

A long 5 m 16.404 ft sensing range is possible with the red LED type that is easy to align with the beam axis. Can be used for wide automatic door shutters.

Less power consumed

The CX-400 series sensors achieve a maximum of approx. 55 % the power consumption of conventional sensors.
Contributes to preserving the environment.

Strong against dust and dirt [CX-412]

Because the light source is an infrared light, it is strong on dust and dirt compared to the red beam type.

Strong against noise

Significantly stronger against inverter light and other extraneous light as well as high frequency and electromagnetic noise generated by high-pressure inverter motors and other devices.

Strong even in cold environments

Stable performance can be maintained even in environments of -25 ℃ -13 ℉.

Beam axis alignment made easy with a high luminance spot beam [CX-423]

These sensors realize a high luminance red LED spot that provides bright visibility enabling the sensing position to be checked at a glance. Because it has the smallest spot in its class, ø2 mm ø0.079 in approx., even the minutest object can be accurately detected.

The bright spot makes beam axis alignment easy [CX-44□]

These sensors realize a high luminance red spot that provides bright visibility. The sensing position can be checked at a glance.
Because the CX-441 sensor has the smallest spot in its class, ø2 mm ø0.079 in approx., even the minutest object can be accurately detected.

Reduction of volume adjustment labor [CX-42□]

Because these sensors possess many variations depending on the sensing range, they enable you to make optimal volume adjustment easily.

Can be used for sensing minute differences [CX-44□]

Equipped with a 5-turn adjuster so that even challenging range settings can be handled with ease.

Less processing

M8 plug-in connector type and M12 pigtailed type are available.
This contributes to less time spent in setting up. In addition, cable types are available with cable lengths of 0.5 m 1.640 ft, 2 m 6.562 ft and 5 m 16.404 ft.
This results in less wastage.

Select from 2 spot diameters as per the application [CX-441/443]

Within the choice of 50 mm 1.969 in sensing range sensors, we offer small spot approx. ø2 mm ø0.079 in type optimal for detecting minute object and large approx. ø6.5 mm ø0.256 in spot type capable of sensing object covered with holes and grooves.

BGS / FGS functions make even the most challenging settings possible! [CX-44□]

Strong against interference

The interference prevention function lets two sensors to be mounted close together precisely.

Less resources used

Based on environmental considerations, simplified packaging is used in order to reduce waste.
In addition, the bag is made from polyethylene which produces no toxic gases even when burned.
