Designed for stable detection, durability, and ease of use

Designed for stable detection, durability, and ease of use

POINT[1] Tough design

The sensor body is protected by a die-cast metal housing, while the inside is filled with epoxy resin, which prevents cracks caused by impact or failure caused by the infiltration of liquid.

POINT[2] Strong cable

The base of the fiber cable (50 mm 1.97") incorporates a stainless-steel jacket. This protects the connection point at the base, which experiences strain when the cable is bent, making it possible to install the sensor in narrow spaces.

POINT[3] Easy optical axis alignment

Benefit of an array fiber
The 60 degree beam aperture of the 30 core fibers results in light expansion over a wide area, which simplifies optical axis alignment.
FU-A40 parallel movementcharacteristics (typical example)

POINT[4] Slim body

While the FU-A40/A100 covers a wide area, it still maintains a slim body design which allows it to be installed in narrow spaces.
(Thickness 5 mm 0.20", Depth 17 mm 0.67")

POINT[5] Cost efficient and time saving

Eliminate multiple sensors installation for wide area detection applications
Thrubeam array type
Thrubeam array type
1 When the FS-N10 Series is used.
Fu-12 wide area sensor head

FU-12, 10 mm Wide Area Detection, Thrubeam

Even if the target vibrates, the 10 mm width detection area allows it to be detected stably. The minimum bend radius is 2 mm thanks to the use of ToughFlex fiber.
Dedicated application type
Dedicated application type
1. When using the FS-N Series. “3600 mm 141.73"” is assumed as maximum because the fiber cable has a length of 2 m 6.6'.
FU-11 wide area sensor head

FU-11, 15 mm Width Area Detection, Reflective

The wide beam area ensures stable detection of targets that are difficult to detect. Its unique optical system creates a truly compact, high performance sensor. When used with the FS-N11N series, multiple FU-11 heads can be mounted which eliminates mutual interfence.
Reflective area type
Reflective area type
1. When the FS-N10 Series is used.
2. The minimum detectable object was determined at the optimal detecting distance and sensitivity setting.
