Features
Stable sensing over long and short periods [FX-301, FX-301-HS, FX-305]
In addition to a “four-chemical emitting element” which suppresses changes in the light emitting element over time so that a stable level of light emission can be maintained over long periods, a “APC (Auto Power Control) circuit” has also been adopted afresh.
The light emitting amount can be controlled in minute degrees so that even changes occurring over very short periods can be handled, allowing stable sensing performance by suppressing deviations in light emitting amounts caused by changes in the ambient environment that could not previously be suppressed.
■Stable sensing comparison
Light-emitting amount selection [FX-301, FX-301-HS, FX-305]
If the light receiving level becomes saturated during close-range sensing or when sensing transparent or minute objects, you can adjust the light emitting amount of the sensor to stabilize sensing without needing to change the response time. Sensing that previously required the response time or fibers to be changed can now be set much more easily using this function.
Ultra high-speed 35 μs response [FX-301-HS, FX-305]
Ultra high-speed 35 μs response.
Even small objects moving at high speeds can be sensed.
In addition, at 65 μs the FX-301 standard type and FX-305 high-function type is also twice as fast as previous models.
Large display 9999 [FX-305]
Large display with 4 digits (9999). With a greater difference in digit value than previous models, threshold values can be set in units of 1 digit up to maximum 9999.
Threshold setting can now be done more easily and accurately.
Even beginners can quickly learn how to use the MODE NAVI [All models]
MODE NAVI uses six indicators to display the amplifier’s basic operations. The current operating mode can be confirmed at a glance, so even a first time user can easily operate the amplifier without becoming confused.
Easy confirming of threshold value settings [FX-301, FX-301-HS, FX-305]
The threshold value can be confirmed by turning the jog switch even during RUN mode.
