FAQ
Q1: What is the TAKEX LD-MX5R?
A: The LD-MX5R is an embedded amplifier laser photo sensor using coaxial polarized retroreflective optics for long-range precision positioning and small-object detection.
Q2: What models are available?
A: The lineup includes LD-MX5R, LD-MX5RPN, LD-MX5R-C1, and LD-MX5RPN-C1.
Q3: What is the maximum sensing range?
A: LD-MX5R and LD-MX5RPN reach up to 5 m when used with the K-7 reflector.
Q4: What is the sensing range of the Class 1 models?
A: LD-MX5R-C1 and LD-MX5RPN-C1 cover 0.3–3 m with the K-7 reflector.
Q5: Can LD-MX5R detect mirror-like objects?
A: Yes. Its polarized retroreflective detection method is designed to support mirror-like workpieces.
Q6: Why is LD-MX5R suitable for narrow spaces?
A: Its coaxial emitter and receiver arrangement allows the fine laser beam to detect targets through narrow gaps and holes.
Q7: Are NPN and PNP outputs available?
A: Yes. LD-MX5R and LD-MX5R-C1 use NPN output, while LD-MX5RPN and LD-MX5RPN-C1 use PNP output.
Q8: Is Light-ON/Dark-ON operation selectable?
A: Yes. All four models support selectable Light-ON and Dark-ON operation.
Q9: Can laser emission be externally disabled?
A: Yes. A laser emission inhibit input is provided. After the inhibit condition is released, the slow-start circuit turns on the laser after approximately one second.
Q10: What applications are suitable for LD-MX5R?
A: Applications include semiconductor, LCD, precision machinery, electronic component, and automotive parts equipment, including detecting slightly lifted ICs in pallets.
