## Summary description

Panasonic PM-K25-C3 is a K-type fork photoelectric sensor designed for object detection in automation tasks. It supports both light-on (bright switching) and dark-on (dark switching) modes and operates on 5–24 V DC. Supplied as a single unit, the sensor provides non-contact detection within a fork-style housing for conveyor, positioning, and presence-sensing applications.

## Long description

Panasonic PM-K25-C3 is a K-type photoelectric fork sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection in industrial automation. Housed in a fork-style body, this sensor detects interruptions or presence of objects passing through its sensing gap. It supports both bright-on and dark-on switching modes and accepts a wide supply range of 5–24 V DC, making it suitable for integration into conveyor systems, pick-and-place stations, and positioning tasks.
Advantages
The fork design ensures precise alignment and repeatable detection of small or narrow targets without mechanical contact. Dual switching modes (bright/dark) allow flexible configuration to suit different object colors and surface finishes. The broad operating voltage range provides compatibility with various machine control systems and reduces the need for additional power conversion. Compact construction simplifies installation in space-constrained locations.
Suitable for
 Conveyor object counting and presence detection
 Position sensing for pick-and-place or robotic end-effectors
 Detecting flat, thin, or transparent parts that pass through a fork
 Integration into machine vision or quality control trigger systems
Key specifications
 Sensing type: fork-style photoelectric sensor (through-beam configuration)
 Switching modes: light-on (bright) and dark-on (dark) selectable
 Supply voltage: 5–24 V DC
 Output type: discrete switching output suitable for PLC or controller inputs
 Mounting: fork housing for object passage through sensing gap
 Detection method: non-contact optical interruption
How to use
Mount the sensor so the object to be detected reliably passes through the sensing gap. Select the appropriate switching mode (bright or dark) according to the object's contrast and surface properties, and connect the sensor to the control system using the specified DC supply range. Adjust alignment to center the target within the fork for consistent detection. Verify switching behavior with representative parts and adjust wiring and mounting as needed to prevent false triggers from ambient light or nearby reflective surfaces.
Использование и советы
For stable operation, ensure the sensing gap is clear of dust and debris and avoid direct exposure to strong external light sources. Use shielded wiring where long cable runs are required and follow recommended grounding practices for the control panel.
