The CX400 Compact Photoelectric Sensor series from Panasonic represents a high-performance solution for non-contact object detection in industrial automation. These sensors utilize advanced optical technologies, including through-beam, retro-reflective, and diffuse reflective modes, to detect a wide range of materials regardless of color, surface finish, or transparency. Key technical specifications include sensing distances up to 15 meters for through-beam models, response times as fast as 1 ms, and IP67 protection ratings for harsh environments. The compact housing design (typically 20 x 10 x 30 mm) allows for easy integration into tight spaces, while the built-in amplifier ensures stable output signals. Models are available with NPN or PNP transistor outputs, selectable light-on/dark-on modes, and adjustable sensitivity via a potentiometer. The CX400 series is engineered for reliable performance in applications requiring precise positioning, counting, or presence detection.
These photoelectric sensors are widely deployed in automated production lines, packaging machinery, material handling systems, and assembly stations. They excel in environments where mechanical switches fail due to wear or contamination, such as dusty factories, wet areas, or cleanrooms. Common applications include detecting bottles on conveyor belts, verifying component presence in pick-and-place robots, monitoring web tension in printing presses, and ensuring proper alignment in automotive assembly. The sensors are also ideal for elevator door safety, warehouse logistics, and food processing equipment where hygiene and reliability are critical.
The CX400 series includes several subcategories based on sensing method and output type. Key article codes include CX-411 (through-beam, 15 m range, NPN output), CX-412 (through-beam, PNP output), CX-421 (retro-reflective, 4 m range, NPN), CX-422 (retro-reflective, PNP), CX-431 (diffuse reflective, 300 mm range, NPN), and CX-432 (diffuse reflective, PNP). The article code structure typically follows the pattern CX-4XX, where the first digit indicates the series and the last two digits specify the model variant (e.g., 11 for through-beam NPN, 21 for retro-reflective NPN). Accessories like mounting brackets (MS-CX4-1) and connector cables (CN-71-C1) are also available to facilitate installation.
