Panasonic NA1-PK3 Photoelectric Sensor
The Panasonic NA1-PK3 area sensor is engineered for dependable and precise detection of opaque objects in industrial environments. With a sensing height of 49.2 mm and a sensing range from 30 to 300 mm, it ensures consistent performance for various applications. The device features three beam channels and a beam pitch of 24.6 mm, offering robust coverage with a minimum detectable object size of ø29 mm.
Equipped with NPN open-collector transistor outputs, this sensor supports flexible integration and includes short-circuit protection for operational safety. It supports both ON and OFF output modes, selectable via an onboard mode switch. Designed for industrial reliability, it meets EMC and RoHS directives, and boasts IP62 protection, making it resistant to dust and water splashes.
Operational stability is enhanced with interference prevention (up to three units close-mounted) and clear LED indicators for power, job, and beam reception. Built to withstand harsh environments, it operates between -10°C to +55°C and resists vibration and shock. The infrared LED emitter and rugged ABS housing ensure long-lasting performance in demanding settings.

Applications :-
- Industrial Automation: Reliable object detection on assembly lines using synchronized scanning.
- Packaging Lines: Ideal for confirming package presence or alignment in compact conveyors.
- Material Handling: Detects passing boxes or pallets without physical contact.
- Electronics Manufacturing: Supports automated placement and verification processes.
-
Quality Control: Ensures object presence or absence in machine vision or rejection systems.
Precautions :-
- Ensure Correct Wiring: Incorrect connections can cause sensor failure
- Avoid Overvoltage: Operating within 10-30V DC prevents damage
- Protect from Extreme Heat: Avoid installing near high-temperature sources
- Regular Cleaning: Keep the optical lens free from dust and debris for optimal performance
