CONCEPTIndustry leading stabilityDecrease the variation among fiber sensorsHigh stability!“Why are the values different even for the same detection?” “If we try to forcibly unify all the displayvalues of incident light intensity, we will not be able to read the actual changes.”SUNX focuses on the variation among fiber sensors and aims for absolute digitalization.When the FX-500 series is used together with our super quality fiber, the incident light intensityvariation among units is decreased to only 1/4 of that of conventional models.By being close to absolute values instead of modified digital values, changes in detection that couldnot be found in the past can now be monitored.Super quality fiber+Threshold valueFX-500 seriesIncident light intensity1Previous amplifierThreshold value1234Incident light intensityDigital control is essentially achievedStability of the incident light intensity is improvedby 4 times*.Values of incident light intensity stay closetogether even after replacing an amplifier.* Using a small diameter fiber (fiber core ø0.5 mm ø0.020 in).If using a standard fiber (fiber core ø1.0 mm ø0.039 in), the variationwill be double of that of conventional models.234Large variation in incidentlight intensity.Incident light intensitiesare stable.Incident light intensity1 2 3 4Requires setting differentthreshold values for eachsensor.1/4incident lightintensity variation[from previous]1 2 3 4Can control by usingjust one threshold value.Specifying just one valuein an operation manualis possibleIn the case where multiple fiber sensors areinstalled under the same operatingconditions, the incident light intensities arenearly identical to each other, allowing forthe specification of one threshold across allsensors.Maintenance is easy onstabilized fiber sensorsBecause the incident light intensity isstable, the same threshold value can beused even when an amplifier is replaced.Also, copying of settings is easy when usedtogether with optical communication.Stability in incident lightintensity and confidence inbeam adjustmentWhen setting up fiber sensors in a row in thesame layout, all incident light intensities willdisplay nearly identical values once beams arealigned. This helps to raise installationprecision and prevent trouble from occurringbefore equipment is turned on.Improved fiber coupling efficiencyand suppressed variation amongunitsIn each unit we have accurately aligned the central axis ofthe fiber with the central axis of the emitted light, whichcreates a high coupling efficiency that helps to reducevariation among units.Active coupling emission deviceFiber insertion guideFiber coreAll sensors are aligned individually.Fiber central axisBeamcentralaxis01 FX-500SERIES* Illustration is image only.
