6 companies list this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The detection range depends on the model and reflector, typically from 0.1 to 15 meters. Always verify the specific range for your application with the manufacturer.
Response time ranges from 0.5 to 10 milliseconds, with faster times suitable for high-speed conveyors. Confirm the exact response time for your model.
The enclosure rating is IP67, meaning the sensor is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water. This rating is per IEC 60529.
The sensors typically use a 4-pin M12 connector or cable. Ensure compatibility with your control system's wiring.
