FX-301
Optional units for greater freedom and control when installing
Sensor-PLC connection system
This wire-saving system enables the
collective connection of up to 16 I/O
devices with an MIL connector.
Scattered installation is also possible
with the help of a sensor separate
unit.
SC SERIES
Bank selection unit
Without directly manipulating the
sensor itself, you can simultaneously
switch up to 16 fiber sensors’ settings
using an exter nal emitted signal.
(Load and save)
m Also possible with the FX-301 series’ databank
function
FX-CH SERIES
APPLICATIONS
Workpieces detection
This standard type of FX-301 using red light
has a four-chemical emitting element for
stable sensing over long periods.
Sensing semi-transparent stickers
The blue LED type greatly reduces the
dampening rate, making it ideal for delicate
sensing.
Sensing register marks
The green LED type can accurately
discriminate between red and yellow, that
cannot be easily detected using red LED
type.
Sensing film meandering
Infrared LED type is ideal for sensing
environments with light restrictions, such as
places where light-sensitive film is being
handled. (The emission peak wavelength:
940 nm
0.037 mil .) It includes full-auto
teaching function which allows sensitivity to
be set without stopping the workpiece line.
Detecting chip component
Because of low light intensity fluctuations
when detecting minute moving objects,
decrease the hysteresis in PRO mode and
accurate sensing will be possible in high-
speed mode. This method is optimal for chip
component verification in taping equipment.
Detecting register marks on a
transparent sheet
When detecting registration marks on
transparent film with a thru-beam type, the
S-D (reduced light intensity) mode will
enable minute light intensity fluctuation
sensing.
