Specification notes
Q1: What is the TAKEX UX Series?
A: The UX Series consists of ultra-miniature through-beam photo sensors with the amplifier integrated into an M5 × 0.5 threaded housing.
Q2: What current models are available?
A: The current lineup includes UX-T100D, UX-T100DPN, UX-T50DS, and UX-T50DSPN.
Q3: What thread size is used?
A: All four current through-beam models use an M5 × 0.5 thread.
Q4: What is the detecting distance of UX-T100D?
A: UX-T100D and UX-T100DPN use a head-on configuration with a 1,000 mm range for opaque objects Φ4 mm or larger.
Q5: What is the detecting distance of UX-T50DS?
A: UX-T50DS and UX-T50DSPN use a side-view configuration with a 500 mm range for opaque objects Φ5 mm or larger.
Q6: Are NPN and PNP outputs available?
A: Yes. UX-T100D and UX-T50DS provide NPN output, while UX-T100DPN and UX-T50DSPN provide PNP output.
Q7: What is the response time?
A: All four current UX Series models respond within 0.5 ms.
Q8: What is the protection rating?
A: All current models are rated IP67 and use SUS303 stainless-steel housings.
Q9: Can the UX Series be used in battery equipment?
A: Yes. The stainless-steel housing is suitable for applications in the secondary-battery industry, and the lens is made of chemical-resistant polysulfone.
Q10: What applications are suitable for the UX Series?
A: Applications include general machinery, logistics, precision machinery, electronic components, and automotive equipment, including PCB passage detection, capacitor passage detection, and built-in machine switches.
