PM-T45 in Panasonic Sensors Family
The PM-T45 series by Panasonic Industrial Automation is a family of ultra-compact, U-shaped micro photoelectric sensors designed for precise position and limit sensing. These through-beam sensors utilize an infrared LED and phototransistor to detect objects within a 6mm sensing slot. Engineers frequently specify the PM-T45 for high-reliability industrial automation tasks where space is at a premium and high-speed switching is required for accurate motion control or presence detection in sensitive machinery.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the PM-T45 sub-family primarily differ in their output configuration and cable specifications. While the physical housing remains constant, models are bifurcated into NPN and PNP transistor output types to match specific PLC or logic controller requirements. Some variants also offer specialized cable lengths or high-flex wiring options designed for installation on moving robotic arms or pick-and-place heads subject to repetitive stress.
