AutomationDirect CXR-AN-1A Photoelectric Sensor

AutomationDirect CXR-AN-1A is a rectangular through-beam photoelectric sensor receiver housed in plastic with compact dimensions of 30 x 15 x 30 mm and an IP65 rating for rugged industrial use. As the receiver half of a through-beam pair, it provides a 6-meter sensing distance and operates on a 10-36 VDC supply. It features a 3-wire, NPN output configured for dark-on switching, and ships with a 6.5 ft (2 m) pigtail cable for straightforward wiring. The unit supports up to 1 kHz switching frequency, making it suitable for moderate-to-fast production lines where reliable object detection is needed on conveyors, feeders, or packaging equipment. Its combination of small form factor, durable housing, and 10-36 VDC compatibility helps integrate into a variety of automation setups that require a through-beam configuration.
