Founded in 1918, Panasonic offer a wide and constantly evolving range of sensor Solutions technologies that provide design engineers with the flexibility to easily choose and implement the sensor technology best suited for existing and ever-emerging new applications all from a single, world class supplier. Panasonic built-in sensors contribute to energy savings, safety and comfort.
PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS
Optical sensors with various sensing ranges available as thru-beam, retro and diffuse reflective type.
- Worlds smallest sensor (amplifier built-in) - The small unit size allows installation of sensors in a narrow space where only a conventional fiber sensor head could be installed before. The built-in amplifier also saves on installation space.
- Ultra-compact photoelectric sensor: Mountable with M3 screws and incorporates a sensitivity adjuster even in this size.
- Threaded miniature photoelectric sensor. can be screwmounted (M4 for thru-beam type, M6 for reflective type) in the same way as standard fibers.
- U-type miniature sensors - One step ahead in performance and mounting ease. IP64 integrated molding method has eliminated grooves and gaps on the sensing surface and main body, thus reducing the possibility of malfunctions caused by splashing water or dust.
- Cylindrical photoelectric sensor with IP67 rating. M18 thread size for convenient mounting.
- Compact multi-voltage photoelectric sensor: The NX5 series can operate at 24 to 240 V AC or 12 to 240 V DC. It has an IP66 protection. Moderate dust or water splashes will not affect the sensor.
- Digital fiber sensors. Low cost, dual display fiber amplifiers are perfect for basic fiber applications.Simple set-up and confirmation with dual digital display.Space saving design with a width of only 9mm.
- The user has a large selection of ultra compact photoelectric sensors at his disposal. The series includes three thru-beam, five retroreflective, four diffuse reflective and four trigonometric types with foreground / background suppression.
- Reflective photoelectric sensor with a compact design. Foreground / background suppression (DC types) and a long sensing range (up to 2.5m). Can be used to confirm the passage of packages on a conveyer belt or detect people in front of automatic doors.
- As compact as a photoelectric sensor, the CMOS laser sensor allows to display actual measured distance as accurately as a displacement sensor.
- Applications
- Measuring the hoop slack
- Checking for presence of O ring
- Controlling the height of a robot
- Controlling the dispenser head height
- The LX-100 mark sensor detects any marking or colour, the sensor is equipped with red, green and blue LED. In addition, it utilises a coaxial reflective optics system to realise high precision sensing when used with 1/4000 resolution 12-bit A/D converter.
- Due to the customised IC and optical design, high precision detection is fulfilled with directivity and visibility achievable only by laser. Class 1 (IEC / JIS / FDA) laser is safe to use, no need to Applications separate the area of sensor usage.
