FIXED-FOCUS REFLECTIVE FIBER
With an even more compact size
than before, the longest sensing
range in its class has been
achieved, and it is ideal for
seating confirmation, providing
stable sensing performance even
for bended glass substrates.

A special, large-scale lens is built-in which, compared to previous
models, considerably enhances the amount of light enabling the
stable detection of even glass substrates discolored (low reflectivity)
by its treatment conditions.
Independent optical system improves light amount
Longest in the industry
The fiber has an ultra-thin head with a thickness of 3 mm 0.118 in and
a size of W12H19 mm W0.472H0.748 in.
Space efficient installation is made possible even when built into robot
hands.
Also, the center of the beam axis and the center of the mounting hole
are directly aligned rendering system designing simple.

Ideal for seating confirmation of
large glass substrates
Independent optical system
greatly improves light amount !
●
Conventional fiber sensors
(No lens)
● FX-300 series
(Double coupling lens)
Disperses the light reduces
emitting efficiency.
The lens concentrates the
light, greatly increasing
emitting efficiency.
‘Double coupling lens’ improves the
light emission efficiency tremendously !
Can also be used for curved glass substrates
Stable sensing made
possible by combining it
with the FX-300 series!

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPOSER USE
This product is not a safety sensor. Its use is not
intended or designed to protect life and prevent
body injury or property damage from dangerous
parts of machinery. It is a normal object detection
sensor.
Notes: 1)

Refer to the Sensor general catalog 2003-2004, catalog of each
amplifier (FX-301/311 series) or dedicated homepage for fiber
sensor (http://www.fiber-sensor.com) for details about the
applicable amplifier.
The sensing range is specified for glass substrate (100
100
t 0.7 mm 3.9373.937t 0.028 in) as the object.
FX-311(P) does not have a FAST mode.
The minimum sensing object size is the value at maximum
sensitivity. Also, note that the corresponding setting distance is
different from the rated sensing distance.

Do not use the fiber at places having intense vibrations, as this
can cause malfunction.
Keep the fiber head surface intact. If it is scratched or spoiled, the
detectability will deteriorate.
If the sensing surface gets dirty, wipe dirt or stains from the
sensing faces with a soft cloth moistened with water. (Do not use
organic solvents.)
Do not expose the fiber to any organic solvents.
Do not use the fiber head surface in places where it may come in
direct contact with water. A water drop on the fiber head surface
deteriorates the sensing.
Ensure that any strong extraneous light is not incident on the
receiving face of the fiber head.
Do not apply excessive tensile force to the fiber cable.
Take care that the fiber is not directly exposed to fluorescent light
from a rapid-starter lamp or a high frequency lighting device, as it
may affect the sensing performance.
There is white dots on the beam-receiving fiber cable. When
setting the amplifier, put the fiber cable with white dots into the
beam-receiving side.
