Panasonic LX-101-P-Z Digital Mark Sensor

The Panasonic LX-101-P-Z is a high-speed digital mark sensor from the LX-100 Series, optimized for detecting registration marks and color differences in printing, packaging, and labeling applications. Featuring a 1 × 5 mm spot size and 10 ±3 mm sensing range, the LX-101-P-Z supports advanced auto-teach functionality and high-speed response down to 45 µs in mark mode.

Designed with a rugged IP67-rated body, PNP open-collector output, and combined RGB LED emitter, this plug-in connector type sensor delivers exceptional reliability, easy integration, and fast setup via 4-digit red LED display and multi-mode teaching.
