Panasonic Through Beam Photoelectric Fork Sensor, Infrared Light Source, 6 mm Detection Range, PNP Output, IP64, PM-K25-P

Panasonic PM-K25-P is a through beam photoelectric sensor designed as a fork-style U-shaped sensor with an infrared light source. It provides a detection range of 6 mm for reliable sensing of opaque materials in industrial applications. The sensor is equipped with a PNP output and wired cable terminal, ideal for automation and control processes requiring precision and quick response.

Operating on 24V DC with a maximum current rating of 50mA, this sensor works effectively within a temperature range from -25°C to 55°C, suitable for diverse environments faced in manufacturing, HVAC, and laboratory automation. Its IP64 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and water splashes, contributing to robust performance reliability.

The housing is made with polybutylene terephthalate and polycarbonate to resist vibrations and mechanical impacts. Installation is facilitated by chassis mount compatibility using M2 or M3 screws. This sensor also incorporates reverse supply polarity protection, reverse output polarity protection, and output short circuit protection, ensuring durability and safeguarding connected equipment.

The PM-K25-P supports fast response times of 20 and 80 microseconds, making it suitable for high-speed industrial automation tasks. Conforming to IEC standards, it meets the rigorous requirements of industrial sensor applications.

The sensor’s fork style and thru beam design allow for compact sensing arrangements where space is limited. Infrared light source provides consistent detection performance for opaque targets. Robust housing materials protect internal components from environmental stress.

Multiple fail-safe protection circuits enhance sensor longevity and reliability. Quick and easy mounting options reduce installation time and costs. Operates reliably over wide temperature and voltage ranges common in industrial settings.

Ideal for use in factory automation, assembly lines, packaging machinery, and quality control systems.
