Sensing of minute objects can be performed by combining the fiber and spot lens.
Features
■ Sensing of minute objects can be performed by combining the fiber and spot lens.
The spot diameter can also be changed.
Applications
Packing detection
Number of IC pins checking
Discrimination of 0603 chip direction
Featuring an extensive selection of spot diameters and the ability to save space when used with square head fiber
Products accommodate a variety of target objects with different shapes, colors, and surface characteristics.
About 3 times more light received (compared to convertional models) [Finest spot lens FX-MR7]
Since there is a large difference in the amount of light received in applications such as direction detection, it is easy to set a threshold that will allow stable detection. Additionally, these products offer an S/N ratio that is 1.3 times better than previous models.
Typical FX-501 performance (STD mode)
| White | Black | |
|---|---|---|
| FX-MR7 + FD-R33EG | 3,200 digits | 1,030 digits |
| FX-MR6 (compared to previous models) + FD-R33EG |
1,000 digits | 435 digits |
Variable spot diameter [Zoom lens FX-MR8]
Spot diameters ranging from ø0.4 to ø3.5 mm ø0.016 to ø0.138 in can be achieved by combining the lens with a variety of fibers.
Long-range parallel light [Parallel light lens FX-MR9]
Depending on the fiber with which it is used, this lens creates parallel light with a spot diameter of approximately ø4 mm ø0.157 in at a sensing range of 0 to 30 mm 0 to 1.181 in.
Tightening torque 5 times (compared to convertional models) [FX-MR7/MR8/MR9]
The standard aluminum body has been changed to stainless steel (SUS 303) to reduce the likelihood of damage from over-tightening.
Standard lens outer diameter of ø4.3 mm (ø0.169 in) [FX-MR7/MR8/MR9]
Use of the same mounting hardware across the product line means less inventory and lower costs.
Introducing a tough fiber that transcends common knowledge!
It has toughness that can be used in moving parts, toughness that can be bent with precision,and high-quality for all purposes.
It changes common knowledge about fibers.
