Excellent workability and ease of maintenance

Connector type

Large endless adjuster

New concept

Standard screwdrivers can be used to turn the adjuster as well

as precision screwdrivers. In addition, an “endless” mechanism

is used which eliminates the possibility of any damage being

caused by turning the adjuster too far.

FX-412 can be turned by finger! New concept

The adjuster can be turned directly by finger, without the

need for a screwdriver.

Everyday-use

screwdriver is OK

Beam power greatly increased to give strong performance

under adverse environments

Red LED type

The beam power has been greatly increased. This

means a longer sensing distance and less trouble from

problems such as dust. These sensors have ample

performance for workplace needs.

Improved stability over both long and short terms Red LED type

The red LED type sensors have a “four-chemical emitting

element” which maintains stability of light emissions for

long-term operation. Furthermore, all models have an “APC

(Auto Power Control) circuit” which improves stability at

times such as when the power is turned on. These features

improve overall stability compared to previous models.

The same quick-connection cable that is

used for sensors such as the

FX-300 series

of digital fiber sensors is used. This means

that they can be used together with other

types of sensors such as laser sensors, and

the number of power supply cables can be

reduced.

Asingle output line is used, so that wiring can be greatly reduced and space savings can be obtained.

Both main and sub units utilize

the same amplifier body.

Up to a maximum 16 sensors can be connected together

The sensors can be connected together with other

sensors such as the

FX-300 series of digital fiber

sensors and the

GA-311 of inductive proximity

sensors. In addition, the

SC series of sensor PLC

connection units with MIL connector compatibility can

also be used to further reduce the amount of wiring.
