The adoption of a unique large lens allows
even thin glass substrates to be sensed
directly from the side. In addition, because
the sensing range is wide (2512.5 mm
0.9840.492 in), stable mapping is
possible even if glass substrates are in
irregular positions.
Accurate mapping even for thin glass substrates
Minor modifications allow sensing range to
be further increased so that even more
stable and high-precision alignments are
possible.
Increased sensing performance
Increases in sizes of glass substrates
mean greater amounts of flexure, but a
single fiber can sense glass even if
horizontal flexure is within 8 (previously
6).
Large light amounts can be obtained for a
variety of glass edge shapes such as R
surfaces and C surfaces, so that accurate
mapping of glass substrates inside
cassettes is possible.
Glass that has received black or yellow
masking can also be sensed in addition to
clear glass.
Can be used for a variety of glass substrates
A compact size of W25H30D7.3 mm
W0.984H1.181D0.287 in allows
installation to the ends of robotic hands. In
addition, the adoption of a resin case
means weight is light at about 39 g.
Light and compact
Stable sensing is possible over even
longer sensing ranges.
In addition, the fiber will not detect a glass
substrate 30 mm 1.181 in or more away
achieving outstanding detecting
characteristics for limited distance.
Sensing range 0 to 23 mm 0 to 0.906 in
A sensing range of 3 to 17 mm 0.118 to
0.669 in (previously 5 to 17 mm 0.197 to
0.669 in) and a positioning error of 0.2 mm
0.008 in or less makes higher precision
sensing possible.
Longest sensing range
in the industry for
seating confirmation.
Sensing is even
possible if absorption
pads are presented.
Sensing range 0 to 7 mm 0 to 0.276 in
Independent, large-scale lenses is built-in.
Large amounts of light can be received,
enabling stable sensing even of glass
substrates that have been colored (with
low reflectivity) by their treatment
conditions.

Also, the center of the beam axis and the

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 values for the FD-L46 are for R edge of glass substrate (100
100t0.7 mm 3.9373.937t0.028 in) for LCDs; the values for the FD-L43 and FD-L44 are for glass
substrate (100
100t0.7 mm 3.9373.937t0.028 in) for LCD, and the values for the FD-L44S are for silicon wafer (polished surfaces).
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.

Mount using M3 countersunk head screws (FD-L46: M3 pan head
screws. Please arrange separately). The tightening torque should be
0.3 Nm or less (FD-L46: 0.5 Nm or less).
The FD-L46 can be mounted as shown in

FD-L43: Note that the sensing may not be stable if the sensing
object is specially processed, e.g., if light does not reflect
regularly on its surface.
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 (FD-L43) or white line (FD-L44/L44S) on the
beam-emitting fiber cable. When setting the amplifier, put the fiber
cable with white dots into the beam-emitting side.
