[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. |

Strong on dust and dirt [ CX-412/413 ]
Because the light source is an infrared light, it is strong on dust and dirt compared to the red beam type.
|
|
Stronger noise resistance
The CX-400 series has a higher noise resistance than its previons model. By incorporating an inverter countermeasure circuit that appropriately shifts with peak wavelength, the sensor now resists high-frequency noise from high-voltage inverter motors and inverter lights more effectively.
|
|
Strong even in cold environments
Stable performance can be maintained even in environments of –25 ℃ –13 ℉.

For details on the operation of the BGS/FGS functions, refer to “BGS/FGS functions” of “PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE”.
The BGS function is best suited for the following case |
Background not present
When object and background are separated
|
Not affected if the background color changes or someone passes behind the conveyor. |
 |
|
|
The FGS function is best suited for the following case |
Background present
When object and background are close together When the object is glossy or uneven
|
Unaffected by gloss, color or uneven surfaces when sensing objects present on a conveyor belt. |
 |
|
|
Strong against interference
The interference prevention function lets two sensors to be mounted close together precisely.
