Description

The Panasonic CX-442 photoelectric sensor operates on a modulated red LED light source and reflective sensing principle, detecting objects within a 20mm to 300mm range. Its built-in amplifier provides a stable NPN switching signal, making it suitable for presence detection, counting, and positioning tasks in automated systems.

Engineered for industrial durability, the sensor features an IP67 protection rating, safeguarding against dust ingress and temporary water immersion. It operates reliably across a -25°C to +55°C temperature range, ensuring consistent performance in varied factory and logistics environments. The integrated cable connection simplifies installation and wiring.

Key Features

  • Reflective photoelectric sensing with precise 20-300mm range adjustment.
  • Industrial-grade NPN output for direct interface with PLC input modules.
  • IP67 sealed housing provides robust protection against dust and water jets.
  • Wide operating voltage (12-24V DC) ensures compatibility with standard industrial power supplies.
  • High-brightness red LED source enables clear optical alignment and reliable detection.
  • Extended operating temperature range (-25°C to +55°C) for challenging environments.
  • Integrated cable connection for secure, strain-relieved electrical termination.
  • Compact form factor designed for easy mounting in space-constrained applications.

Applications

  • Object presence detection and counting on conveyor belts in packaging and assembly lines.
  • Position verification and part positioning in automated machinery and robotic cells.
  • Level detection for bins, hoppers, and storage containers in material handling systems.
  • Door and gate monitoring for safety interlock and access control systems.
  • Jam detection and web break monitoring in printing, textile, and paper processing equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output type of the Panasonic CX-442 sensor and how do I interface it?

The CX-442 provides an NPN open-collector output. This output sinks current to ground when activated. To interface it, connect the output wire to your PLC's digital input or a microcontroller input pin (with a pull-up resistor to the positive supply), and connect the sensor's power wires to a 12-24V DC source, observing correct polarity.

What does the IP67 rating mean for this sensor's installation environment?

The IP67 rating indicates the sensor is dust-tight (6) and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes (7). This makes it suitable for washdown areas, outdoor use, and dusty industrial environments where protection against solid and liquid ingress is required.

How do I adjust the sensing distance on the CX-442 sensor?

The sensing distance is typically adjusted via a potentiometer located on the sensor body. Use a small screwdriver to turn the pot while observing the output state with a test object at the desired detection point. The range is adjustable within the 20mm to 300mm specification. Refer to the product datasheet for detailed adjustment procedures.

Can this sensor detect transparent or glossy objects reliably?

Reflective sensors like the CX-442 can struggle with highly transparent or specularly reflective objects, as the light may pass through or be reflected away from the receiver. For such materials, a through-beam or diffuse-reflective sensor with background suppression might be a more reliable choice. Testing with the actual object is recommended.
