## Summary description

Panasonic PM-T65 is a T-type fork photoelectric sensor designed for presence and position detection in automation. Operating on 5–24 V DC, it offers both light-on (helschaltend) and dark-on (dunkelschaltend) switching modes for flexible integration. Its fork form factor enables non-contact detection of small parts, labels, or edges on conveyors and assembly lines.

## Long description

The Panasonic PM-T65 is a T-type photoelectric fork sensor engineered for reliable presence and position detection in industrial automation. Operating on a 5–24 V DC supply, this fork sensor provides both light-on and dark-on switching modes, enabling flexible integration into conveyor systems, pick-and-place stations, label detection tasks and other applications requiring non-contact sensing of small parts, edges or markings. The fork form factor positions emitter and receiver in a compact U-shaped housing that simplifies alignment and reduces the influence of ambient light.
Advantages
The PM-T65 supports both light-on and dark-on logic, allowing selection of the switching behavior that best fits the control scheme. Its 5–24 V DC operating range ensures compatibility with common control systems and PLC inputs. The fork design permits precise non-contact detection of thin objects such as labels, films, or small components without requiring additional optical accessories. The sensor’s compact T-type housing facilitates installation in tight spaces and on automated lines where space is limited.
Suitable for
Detection of small parts and components on conveyors and feeders
Label, tag or edge detection on packaging and printing machines
Presence sensing in assembly and pick-and-place equipment
Non-contact inspection where precise alignment and fast response are needed
Key specifications
Form factor: T-type fork sensor with emitter and receiver in opposing arms
Supply voltage: 5–24 V DC compatible with common industrial controls
Switching modes: selectable light-on and dark-on output behavior
Output type: digital switching suitable for PLC or controller inputs
Detection method: through-beam fork detection for small, thin targets
Mounting: compact fork housing designed for in-line or perpendicular attachment
How to use
Mount the PM-T65 so that the target passes through the fork opening between the emitter and receiver. Connect the sensor to a suitable 5–24 V DC supply and wire the output to the control input according to the required light-on or dark-on logic. Adjust alignment by positioning the sensor housing to center the target within the fork gap and secure the unit using the recommended mounting points. Confirm correct switching behaviour by passing representative targets through the fork and observing the control input or indicator LEDs, then fine-tune alignment for repeatable detection.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, keep the fork opening free of dust and debris and avoid mounting in locations with direct exposure to intense ambient light sources. Use stable DC supply voltage and proper wiring practices to prevent false triggering. When detecting translucent or reflective materials, test both light-on and dark-on modes to determine the most consistent switching state for your application.
