Product Overview
The CNTX sensor combines small spot size and fast response to achieve high-speed contrast detection
capable of detecting a wide variety of marks and objects. The CNTX effectively detects contrast
differences between many colors on various surfaces over a range of 50 grayscale levels. The
modulated white light source in the CNTX is focused to a 2.5 to 3mm spot and directed toward a
target. The diffused light returning to the sensor is measured. When the level is equal to or exceeds
the threshold the discrete output changes state. Due to the fast response of the sensor, it is suitable
for use in high-speed applications. The sensor provides a discrete output that automatically
configures to NPN and PNP. A PLC or a computer can be used to monitor the status of the discrete
output signal.
The CNTX is a reliable, compact sensor with high-speed sensing capabilities. Two seven segment
displays provide visual representation of the relative intensity from 00 to 50. The gain feature and 3
LED intensity settings provide for flexible operation over a wide range of colors.
