Fiberoptic Laser Sensors...

FS-L Series

      Features:

  • Visible Beam Spot
  • Unaffected by surrounding objects
  • Ultra-compact body
  • 250-µs response time

Detecting Distance
Thru beam - 500 mm (19.69")
Diffuse-reflective - 30 to 150 mm (1.18" to 5.91")

Reliable detection regardless of surrounding objects
The parallel laser beam ensures that the target will be detected reliably without being affected by surrounding objects. A target can be detected or differentiated with the same linearity at any point in the detecting range.
Visible laser beam spot

The visible red beam spot allows quick and easy alignment of the optical axis and target positioning. The reflective sensor has a 4 mm 0.16" beam spot diameter enabling detection of workpieces with a minimum diameter of 0.1 mm 0.004".

 

 

Compact Fiber Unit

The reflective fiber unit is extremely small at only 5(H)x10(W)x25(D) mm 0.20"x0.39"x0.98". The thrubeam type is also very small with an M6 diameter.

 

F-20 side-view attachment

The F-20 enables thrubeam fiber units to be mounted in a very narrow spaces. Even with the attachment, the fiber unit still reliably detects at distances of up to 400 mm 15.75".
