Specification notes
Q1: What is the TAKEX Mini-G Series?
A: The Mini-G Series consists of ultra-compact embedded amplifier photo sensors designed for built-in machine applications and limited installation spaces.
Q2: What sensing methods are available?
A: The lineup includes through-beam, retroreflective, diffuse reflective, and convergent reflective sensing.
Q3: What is the maximum detecting distance?
A: GT3RSN and GT3RSPN through-beam models provide a maximum detecting distance of 10 m.
Q4: What light sources are available?
A: Red and infrared LED models are available depending on the sensing method and model.
Q5: Are NPN and PNP models available?
A: Yes. Major sensing configurations are available with either NPN or PNP open-collector output.
Q6: Do both NPN and PNP models provide a stability output?
A: No. NPN models provide a stability output, while PNP models do not.
Q7: What is the response time of the Mini-G Series?
A: Main models provide a response time of 0.35 ms or less.
Q8: Can Mini-G sensors be mounted with M3 screws?
A: Yes. All Mini-G Series models support M3 screw mounting.
Q9: Can pinhole plates be used with through-beam models?
A: Yes. GT3RSN and GT7SN support GP1, GP2, GP3, and GP5-1 pinhole plates, with detecting distance varying by aperture size.
Q10: What applications are suitable for the Mini-G Series?
A: Applications include general machinery, logistics, precision machinery, electronic components, automotive parts, food and pharmaceutical equipment, thread-break detection with GS5N, and parts-feeder material detection with GSZ3RSN.
