Specification notes
Q1: What is the TAKEX UM Series?
A: This UM Series consists of ultra-thin miniature embedded amplifier photo sensors measuring only 3.5 mm thick for integration into compact equipment.
Q2: Is this the same as the UM-T51 Series?
A: No. This is the 3.5 mm ultra-thin UM Series covering T15, T50, T100, R3, R5, and Z3 models. The UM-T51 lineup belongs to a separate series page.
Q3: What is the maximum detecting distance?
A: UM-T100 through-beam models provide a maximum detecting distance of 1 m.
Q4: What sensing methods are available?
A: The lineup includes through-beam, diffuse reflective, and convergent reflective sensing.
Q5: Are both NPN and PNP outputs available?
A: Yes. The current lineup includes both NPN and PNP output configurations.
Q6: Which models provide sensitivity adjustment?
A: Models containing V in the suffix provide in-line sensitivity adjustment, including UM-T15TV, UM-T50SV, UM-R3TV, UM-R5TV, and UM-Z3SV.
Q7: What is the protection rating?
A: Current UM Series models are rated IP64.
Q8: What is the detecting range of UM-R5?
A: UM-R5 diffuse reflective models provide 2–50 mm sensing with a 50 × 50 mm white drawing paper reference target.
Q9: Is the UM Series suitable for built-in installation?
A: Yes. Its 3.5 mm thickness and volume below 0.8 cm³ make it suitable for compact equipment and restricted installation spaces.
Q10: What applications are suitable for the UM Series?
A: Applications include IC detection in transparent sticks, resist-liquid level sensing, PCB detection in chip mounters, and paper-arrival detection in office equipment.
