Light emitting amount selection function
FX-301 FX-301-HS FX-305
When sensing transparent objects and minute objects, the light emitting amount can be changed without changing the response time, even
for cases where the incident light intensity is fully saturated, which was not possible with conventional models. This allows stable sensing to
be maintained, and there is no longer any need to change the sensing range or change the fiber sensor as used to be required.

When sensing transparent objects and extremely small objects,
variations in the incident light intensity caused by external factors
such as slippage of the beam axis due to vibration can result in
incorrect operation.
In such cases, periodically setting limit teaching ‘�’ can be used to
ensure more stable sensing.
The FX-CH2 can be used to carry out teaching externally, so that
teaching can be carried out much more easily in places where entry
and exit of personnel are restricted.

1 Carry out limit teaching ‘�’ before the sensing object (glass substrate)
arrives (while there is no sensing object present). When the shift value is
set to 5 % beforehand, the threshold value is set to a value that is at a
level 5 % lower than the incident light intensity during teaching.
2 Even when sensing glass substrates with high degrees of transparency
(low damping), stable sensing is possible without changes in the light
amount due to external causes.
Upstream communication for reading data and teaching are also possible

A PLC or computer can be used for sending inputs (teaching or data bank switching) to the digital fiber sensors, and also a communication unit

Notes: 1) Refer to p.27 for the sensing ranges for the FX-301-HS in H-SP mode and for the FX-301B/G/H.
2) Please take care that the sensing range of the free-cut type fiber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the fiber is cut.
3) The minimum sensing object size is the value for red LED type. Please contact our office for information on the minimum sensing object size if using
amplifiers other than red LED type.
The optimum condition is the condition when the sensitivity is set so that the sensing output just changes to light incident operation in the object absent
condition.

Notes: 1) Please contact our office for the sensing ranges for the FX-301-HS in H-SP mode and for the FX-301B/G/H.
2) Please take care that the sensing range of the free-cut type fiber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the fiber is cut.
The sensing range of FR-WKZ11 is specified for the RF-13. The sensing range of FR-KZ21, FR-KZ21E and FR-KV1 is specified for the attached
reflector.
3) The sensing range of FR-WKZ11 is the possible setting range for the reflector or reflective tape. The fiber can detect an object less than 100 mm 3.937 in
away.
However, note that if there are any white or highly-reflective surfaces near the fiber head, reflected incident light may affect the fiber head. If this occurs,
adjust the threshold value of the amplifier unit before use.
The sensing range of FR-KZ21(E) is the possible setting range for the reflector. However, if setting the fiber to detect objects passing within 0 to 20 mm
0 to 0.787 in from the fiber head, unstable detection may result.
The sensing range of FR-KV1 is the possible setting range for the reflector. The fiber can detect an object less than 15 mm 0.591 in away.
4) The minimum sensing object size is the value for red LED type.
The optimum condition is the condition when the sensitivity is set so that the sensing output just changes to light incident operation in the object absent
condition.
The FX-305 and FX-301(-HS) have different sensing modes.

3) Please take care that the sensing range of the free-cut type fiber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the fiber is cut.
4) The minimum sensing object size is the value for red LED type at maximum sensitivity. Note that the corresponding setting distance is different from the
rated sensing distance. However, with the covergent reflective type, when the sensitivity is at MAX., it is only possible to detect the minimum size of the
sensing object at a distance corresponding to the convergent point.

Notes: 1) Be careful when installing the thru-beam type fiber equipped with the expansion lens, as the beam envelope becomes narrow and alignment is difficult. Especially
when installing a fiber with many cores (sharp bending fibers and heat-resistant glass fiber), please be sure to use it only after you have adjusted it sufficiently.
2) The fiber cable length practically limits the sensing range to 3,500 mm 137.795 in long (FT-H20W-M1, FT-P81X and FT-H20-M1: 1,600 mm 62.992 in).
3) The sensing ranges are the values for red LED type amplifier. Please contact our office for details on sensing ranges for other types of amplifiers.
4) The fiber cable length for the FT-H30-M1V is 1 m 3.281 ft. The sensing ranges in U-LG and LONG modes take into account the length of the FT-J8
atmospheric side fiber.

FX-AT2 FX-AT3
developed two-in-one fiber attachment
(FX-AT3/AT4/AT5/AT6) which enables two
fibers to be cut simultaneously to the same
length with the new fiber cutter (FX-CT2). Also,
since the fibers can be attached to the amplifier
while being fixed in position in the two-in-one
fiber attachment, sensitivity changes resulting
from variation in the amount of fiber insertion do
not occur.

External Input Unit for Digital Sensor / FX-CH2
Conforming to
EMC Directive
Support for stable sensing and
smooth setup changes!
Teaching and data bank switching for up to a maximum of
16 digital fiber sensors (FX-301 and FX-305) can be
carried out all at once using an external device such as a
PLC, touch screen or switch.
Applications involving smooth setup operations
� Setup changes (external automatic teaching / data bank switching)
Digital fiber settings can be changed using input from a touch screen or switch, so that
production line setup changes can be carried out more easily.
� External teaching
Full-auto teaching is recommended for teaching when the sensing object is changed
without stopping the line.
� Data bank switching
Settings such as output operations (L-ON / D-ON) and timer operations can be recorded
in the digital fiber sensor’s data bank and switching can be carried out externally.
m Up to 3 files can be stored.

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER
Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.
Applied Materials
CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS
Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.
