Panasonic Compact Photoelectric Sensor CX-441-P-Z

Panasonic CX-400 series CX-441-P-Z Sensor photoelectric background and foreground suppression, 2 to 50 mm Range, PNP open-collector transistor

The Panasonic CX-441-P-Z is a compact photoelectric sensor from the CX-400 series, which features background and foreground suppression (BGS/FGS) functions. It is designed for reliable and precise detection, even for small or challenging objects.

Key specifications

• Sensing method: Adjustable reflective with background and foreground suppression functions.
• Sensing range: 2 to 50 mm (adjustable).
• Output: PNP open-collector transistor.
• Output operation: Selectable either Light-ON (L-ON) or Dark-ON (D-ON).
• Light source: Red LED.
• Spot diameter: 2 mm at 50 mm distance.
• Supply voltage: 12 to 24 V DC ±10%.
• Connection: M8, 4-pin connector type.
• Response time: 1 ms or less.
• Indicators: Orange LED for operation and green LED for stability.
• Enclosure: PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) with an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance.
• Adjuster: 5-turn mechanical distance adjuster.

Features and applications

• High precision: The small, approximately ø2 mm, high-luminance red spot allows for the accurate detection of minute objects and height differences.
• Background/Foreground Suppression (BGS/FGS): These functions allow the sensor to reliably detect objects while ignoring the background, even when the object and background are close together or the object is glossy.
• Easy adjustment: A 5-turn mechanical adjuster simplifies the setting of the detection range.
• Robust design: Built to IP67 standards, the sensor is designed for durability in demanding industrial environments.
• Reduced power consumption: The CX-400 series, including this model, features unique design elements that significantly reduce power consumption.
