The CX400 series from Panasonic represents a sophisticated line of compact photoelectric sensors, specifically engineered for retroreflective detection of transparent objects. These sensors utilize a modulated infrared or visible red light beam, operating on the principle of light reflection off a reflector. Key technical parameters include sensing distances typically ranging from 0.1 to 2 meters depending on the model, response times as fast as 1 ms or less, and a compact housing with an IP67 protection rating for harsh industrial environments. The CX400 series is designed to reliably detect clear glass, PET bottles, and other transparent materials that challenge standard photoelectric sensors, often featuring a polarized filter to minimize false triggers from reflective backgrounds.
These sensors are predominantly deployed in packaging, bottling, and material handling sectors where transparent object detection is critical. Common applications include counting clear vials on a conveyor, verifying the presence of glass panels in assembly lines, and detecting transparent films in web processing machinery. They integrate seamlessly into automated control systems via standard M8 or M12 connectors, with outputs such as NPN or PNP open-collector transistors, making them suitable for direct connection to PLCs or industrial controllers.
The CX400 category encompasses several subcategories and key article codes, including the CX-411, CX-412, CX-413, and CX-414 series. These models are differentiated by their sensing method (retroreflective with polarization), output type (NPN or PNP), and connection style (cable or connector). The article code structure typically follows the pattern CX-4XX, where the first digit indicates the series and subsequent digits specify the variant. For example, CX-411-P identifies a polarized retroreflective sensor with PNP output. Accessories like reflectors (e.g., RF-230) and mounting brackets are also available to complete the installation.
