OPTICAL / PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS PANASONIC SENSORS
Overview
Panasonic offers a comprehensive lineup of high performance Photoelectric, Fiber and Laser sensors. Compact and miniature Photoelectric Sensors with easy-to-implement enclosure shapes are available with or without a built-in amplifier. Panasonic Optical / Photoelectric Sensors are ideal for reliable distance sensing applications in automation and production environments.
Panasonic’s Laser Sensors can detect opaque, translucent, and transparent objects and include self-monitoring Sensors for predictive maintenance. IP67 Rated Photoelectric and Laser Sensors meet the needs of industrial processes.Panasonic’s digital Fiber Sensors have built-in logic functions, a high visibility display and can be used in extreme environments. Some Fiber, Laser and Pressure Sensors are IO-Link compatible for easy networking.
The Image Sensors with SmartFSI® technology developed by Panasonic achieve high sensitivity, low noise and high color reproducibility to meet the needs of many markets including security, industry, medical, broadcasting camera markets.

FIBER SENSORS – COLOR DETECTION FIBER SENSOR FZ-10
FZ-10 Color Detection Fiber Sensors are equipped with three LEDs – red, green and blue – as their light source. This contributes to a long Sensor life and a high immunity against disturbances through ambient light. The RGB components of each detected color are processed digitally, thus the smallest differences will be detected by this Sensor. Even white and yellow can be distinguished.
By pressing just a single button, the Sensor memorizes the inspected color as a reference. Allowable deviations from this target color can be set with a 16-step tolerance adjuster. Four different fibers with spot diameters from 1 to 8mm and different sensing ranges are available for this Color Sensor. With a response time of only 1ms, FZ-10 Color Detection Sensors are also suitable for high-speed color-checking applications.

FIBER SENSORS – DIGITAL FIBER SENSOR FX-550L
Panasonic Fiber Optic Sensors and Sensor Heads allow for stable detection in any application, even for use in hazardous environments. With over 180 Fiber Sensors to choose from, Panasonic’s offering covers a variety of key application requirements such as mounting condition, sensing distance, and temperature rating.
The FX-550L Series Digital Fiber Sensor has three times higher emission power and 1.6 times longer sensing range than conventional models. Higher incident light intensity results in more stable detection and easy beam axis adjustment, and IO-Link compatibility makes it possible to monitor, operate, and collect data from the sensor through an IO-Link master.
