Panasonic PM-F45 Photoelectric Sensor
The Panasonic PM-F45 U-shaped Photoelectric Sensor is engineered for reliable and ultra-precise object detection in compact spaces. Featuring a fixed sensing range of 6 mm, it can detect even small opaque objects as tiny as 0.8 × 1.2 mm, offering outstanding performance in automation and positioning tasks. The U-shaped design makes it ideal for mounting in narrow or confined spaces, maximizing flexibility in installation.
Designed for high-speed detection, the PM-F45 boasts a response time as fast as 20 μs under light conditions and 80 μs under light interruption, with a maximum switching frequency of 3 kHz. This sensor incorporates dual outputs (Light-ON / Dark-ON), allowing flexible control logic in any application.
The rugged PBT enclosure and IP64 protection make it durable against dust and water splashes, while the robust design withstands shock levels up to 15,000 m/s² and vibration from 10 to 2,000 Hz.
Supporting a wide voltage range (5–24 V DC) and efficient NPN open-collector output, the PM-F45 is the perfect balance of compactness, reliability, and sensing accuracy for industrial needs.
