The sensing range of the thin reflective type fiber is about 1.6 times longer than that of a conventional product (the sensing range of the standard reflective type fiber is about 1.4 times longer). This adds extra flexibility to the sensor layout.
Fiber | Sensing range (STD mode) | Rate of increase in sensing range | |
---|---|---|---|
FX-551 | FX-501 | ||
FT-31 | 480mm 18.898 in | 315mm 12.402 in | 152% |
FT-42 | 1,470mm 57.874 in | 1,130mm 44.488 in | 130% |
FD-41 | 200mm 7.874 in | 125mm 4.921 in | 160% |
FD-61 | 620mm 24.409 in | 450mm 17.717 in | 138% |
When the hysteresis is the same, the higher incident light intensity results in more stable detection.
Thanks to the high emission power, a slight deviation of beam axis causes no problem. It is ideal for use in dusty areas* or for detection through an extremely small slit. |
When setting to activate the environment resistance mode in the emission frequency setting, the ambient illuminance for LED lights becomes about 2.5 times higher than that in the normal mode. This reduces erroneous detections caused by LED lights. |
The FX-500 series and newer models are equipped with only basic functions for improved ease of use. No matter which model you select, they are all easy to use.
MODE NAVI uses three indicators and a dual display to show the amplifier’s basic operations. The current operation mode can be confirmed at a glance, so even a first-time user can easily operate the amplifier.

■List of functions in PRO mode
PRO 1 | Response time setting, timer setting, shift amount setting |
---|---|
PRO 2 | Teaching lock setting, digital display item setting, digital display turning setting, Eco setting |
PRO 3 | Display adjustment setting, reset setting, emission frequency setting, threshold value tracking setting |
All FX-500 amplifiers can be used as either a main unit or a sub unit. Just use a main cable or a sub cable to distinguish the two. This reduces the costs of inventory management.
The quick-connection cables enable reduction in wiring. The connections and man-hours required for the relay terminal block setup can be reduced and valuable space is saved.
