Distance setting laser photoelectric sensor
F3C-AL
• 700 mm max setting distance
• small visible Laser light spot for simple
adjustment
F3C-AL
Features
Clear red spot ensures easy setting.
With its wide setting range 170 to 700 mm, F3C-AL is compatible with standard conveyors. In the setting distance of 700
mm, the distance can be set easily with a 1.5x4 mm red spot.
700mm
Secure detection of shiny surface
Ensures stable detection of a 45-degree shiny surface. Detection of pouches, laminated packages or like minimizes setup
change time.
170mm
Unaffected by a shiny background.
Insensitive to shiny objects in the background, the Sensor can
be installed in any place.
Small Black/White error:
2% (Setting distance 300 mm),
8% max. (Setting distance 500 mm)
A little black/white error saves adjustment time during setup
change.
Full hysteresis detection range 0.5% max.
(for white paper)
6-turn adjuster ensures ease of adjustment.
