Threaded Type Fiber

Basic Information

It has reasonable pricing while drastically improving flexing performance.

Features

■ It is a standard fiber which is mounted using nuts. It has reasonable pricing while drastically improving flexing performance.
■ With the lens installable type, long distance sensing and microscopic object sensing is possible by installing a lens.
■ A protective tube and a sturdy stainless jacket type that prevents disconnection are also prepared.

Stainless steel fittings are used for the fiber head of all models.

●Clearly conforms to RoHS
●Can be used for secondary battery
●Improved mounting strength
* Some models not included (FT-R41W, FT-R42W, FT-140)

Improved centering accuracy

The beam axis deviation of each unit is kept within ±3° and the beam axis centering accuracy is kept within ±150 μm.
(Within ±5° and ±90 μm for ultra small diameter fibers)
●Makes beam axis adjustment easier
●Improves mounting hole machining accuracy
●Improves sensing accuracy

Improved specularity

High precision polishing is accomplished by using the PCTC polishing technique.
The specularity of the end face of the fiber is 5 times greater.
●Light intensity is increased, enabling stable sensing.

Coaxial type FD-□G□ in which high-precision positioning can be achieved.

It is a coaxial fiber that encloses the circumference of the emitter fiber at the center with the receiver fiber. This is suitable for high-precision positioning. It can perform sensing without affecting the approach direction of the work.

Application

Detecting a presence of a workpiece

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.

* Bending radius: R10 mm R0.394 in, Reciprocating bending: 180°
