FAQ
Q1: What is the TAKEX UM2 Series?
A: The UM2 Series consists of ultra-miniature embedded amplifier photo sensors with IP67 protection and through-beam, diffuse reflective, and convergent reflective sensing.
Q2: How many current UM2 models are available?
A: The current lineup includes 44 models covering different sensing ranges, NPN/PNP outputs, operation modes, and sensitivity-adjustment configurations.
Q3: What is the maximum detecting distance?
A: Through-beam models provide up to 500 mm sensing. Diffuse reflective models cover up to 50 mm, while convergent reflective models cover 5–30 mm.
Q4: What outputs are available?
A: The UM2 Series offers NPN and PNP open-collector versions. PNP models use an in-line output conversion unit.
Q5: Are Light-ON and Dark-ON models available?
A: Yes. Both operating modes are available. Models containing D in the model code are Dark-ON versions.
Q6: Which models provide sensitivity adjustment?
A: Models containing V in the suffix provide in-line sensitivity adjustment, including UM2-T15DTV, UM2-R3TV, and UM2-Z3SV.
Q7: What is the response time?
A: Detailed specifications for the T15, T50, R3, R5, and Z3 sensing groups specify a response time of 0.5 ms or less.
Q8: What is the protection rating?
A: All UM2 Series models are rated IP67 and can be washed with water.
Q9: Is the UM2 Series suitable for confined installation spaces?
A: Yes. The ultra-miniature sensors are designed for direct screw mounting and installation in small equipment and confined spaces.
Q10: What applications are suitable for the UM2 Series?
A: The series is suited to semiconductor, LCD, precision machinery, and electronic component equipment, including IC detection inside transparent sticks.
