Features

Ample sensing distance even with thin fiber

The FX-551 series features a sensing range 1.6x longer for thin type reflective than that of a conventional product.

When the hysteresis is the same, the higher incident light intensity results in more stable detection.

Easy beam axis adjustment

The sensor features higher emission power, which prevents slight beam axis deviation from causing problems. The sensor is ideal for use in dusty areas or for detection through an extremely small slit.

Equipped with a module to minimize the effect of ambient light

When the environment resistance mode in the emission frequency setting is activated, the ambient illuminance for LED lights becomes 2.5 times higher than in normal mode, reducing erroneous detections caused by LED lights.

Simplified functions for improved operation ease

The FX-551 series is equipped with only basic functions for ease of use.

MODE NAVI + Direct Setting

MODE NAVI utilizes three indicators plus a dual display to show the amplifiers operations. The current operation mode can be confirmed at a glance.
