Our line of fiber optic sensors and
sensor heads offer stable detection
for any application, including those
in hazardous environments. With
over 200 fiber optic sensor heads to
choose from, you are covered from
every angle, whether you need long
distance, a high-temperature rating, or
if you have limited mounting space.
PRESSURE SENSORS
Our line of pressure sensors consist of
self-contained and separate head types
for maximum application coverage.
Our sensor options include positive
pressure, vacuum and compound
pressure ranges as well as multiple
port size and output configurations.

PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS
Panasonic has some of the industry's smallest photoelectric sensors with
unmatched simplicity and versatility. Our sensors have advanced features which
include background/foreground suppression to protect against unwanted detection.
Background Suppression
For instances where the background may affect
sensing performance, or cause false detections,
utilize a background suppression sensor to
achieve an accurate detection.

The sensor judges that an object is present
when light is received at position A of the light-
receiving element (2-segment element).
This is useful if the object and background are
far apart. The distance adjustment is the same
as the conventional adjustment method for
adjustable range reflective sensors.

FIBER OPTIC SENSORS
Panasonic fiber optic sensors are unmatched in quality
and performance. High speed detections coupled with
unparalleled stability give you the best performance possible.
With over 200 different fiber optic cables, you're sure to find
one for your application, no matter how specialized.
An
integrated optical communication
port on the FX-500
and FX-300 series allow for remote configuration/control as
well as interference prevention.
Additionally, Panasonic fiber optic sensors utilize a
universal
power connection
system to decrease wiring and share
power over an array of sensors. Simply select a main
cable for the first unit in the array and a sub cable for each
subsequent sensor.

PRESSURE SENSORS
Panasonic pressure sensors are easy to use and deliver the
highest level of performance. Our product line can detect
air, water, oil, and other liquids with pressures up to 50MPa.
Whether you need high resolution or high speed detection,
our pressure sensors have you covered.

Three Level Configuration
The setting levels are clearly separated into
“RUN mode” for operation settings that are
carried out daily, “MENU SETTING mode” for
basic settings, and “PRO mode” for special
and detailed setting. These make setting
operations easy to understand and easy to
carry out.
RUN Mode
Settings such as
threshold value
adjustment and key lock
operation can be carried
out while the sensor is
operating.

Three Color Digital Display
The main display color switches between green and red in accordance with the
ON/OFF status of output during RUN mode. In addition, the display always appears
orange while setting is in progress, so that the status of the controller can be viewed at
a glance.
