FX-301 Fiber Optic Sensor

Product Details

  • Model: FX-301

  • Type: Fiber Optic Sensor Amplifier

  • Brand: (Typically by Keyence or similar brands; please confirm based on your supplier)

  • Fiber Optic Sensor: Uses fiber optic cables to detect presence, position, or color of objects in tight or harsh environments where traditional sensors may not fit or survive.

  • Amplifier Unit: Compact controller that processes signals from fiber optic cables and outputs detection signals.

  • Sensing Method: Diffuse, reflective, or through-beam, depending on fiber optics used.

  • Output: Usually NPN or PNP transistor output, depending on model variant.

  • Power Supply: Typically 12–24 VDC

  • Response Time: Fast switching, typically in milliseconds

  • Connection: Screw terminals or connector types for easy wiring

  • Indicator: LED indicators for power, output, and sensitivity status

  • Application: Ideal for detecting small parts, transparent objects, or in environments with limited space or extreme conditions (heat, chemicals, dust).


How to Use

  1. Install Fiber Optic Cables

    • Mount the fiber optic cables near the target detection area. Because fiber optics are thin and flexible, they can be routed through confined spaces or around corners.

    • Choose the appropriate fiber tip type (diffuse, reflective, through-beam) for your detection needs.

  2. Connect to Amplifier Unit

    • Connect the fiber optic cables to the FX-301 amplifier unit following the manufacturer's wiring diagram.

    • Wire the amplifier to the power supply (12–24 VDC) and to your control system (PLC, relay, etc.).

  3. Adjust Sensitivity

    • Use the sensitivity adjustment knob or digital controls on the FX-301 amplifier to set detection threshold according to your target object and environment.

    • The LED indicators help verify detection and proper sensor operation.

  4. Test the Setup

    • Verify the sensor detects the presence or absence of objects by observing the output LED and checking signals on your control system.

    • Adjust sensitivity if necessary to avoid false positives or missed detections.

  5. Maintenance

    • Periodically check fiber optic cables for damage or contamination.

    • Clean fiber tips as needed to maintain reliable sensing.

    • Ensure wiring and amplifier are securely mounted and protected from environmental hazards.
