pd40cnt40 – photo te pl 4m cab
Carlo Gavazzi PD40CNT40 is a compact IP67 photoelectric through-beam emitter with a 4 m nominal sensing range for industrial automation and object detection applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PD40CNT40 Photoelectric Through-Beam Emitter?
The Carlo Gavazzi PD40CNT40 is a compact photoelectric through-beam emitter designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation and machine control applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PD40 photoelectric sensor series, it provides a nominal sensing range of up to 4 m when used with the corresponding through-beam receiver.
The PD40 series combines a slim rectangular housing with robust construction for installation where mounting space is limited. Through-beam photoelectric sensing provides dependable detection by positioning an emitter and receiver opposite one another, allowing objects to be detected when they interrupt the transmitted light beam.
The PD40CNT40 features a 4 m nominal sensing range and a cable connection for straightforward integration into industrial machinery. Its IP67-rated ABS housing provides protection against dust and water ingress, while the compact approximately 10 × 40 × 13.5 mm format makes it suitable for conveyors, packaging machinery, material handling equipment and general factory automation.

Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Automation
Through-beam photoelectric sensors use separate emitter and receiver units positioned opposite each other. The emitter produces a light beam directed towards the receiver, and an object is detected when it passes between the two units and interrupts the beam. This sensing method provides reliable presence detection and is particularly useful where dependable operation over longer sensing distances is required.
The Carlo Gavazzi PD40 series is designed for compact industrial sensing installations. The PD40CNT40 emitter's slim housing, 4 m sensing capability and IP67 environmental protection make it well suited to integration into automated machinery where reliable object detection and efficient use of installation space are important.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Object presence and position detection.
