Specification notes
Q1: What is the TAKEX UX3 Series?
A: The UX3 Series consists of ultra-miniature diffuse reflective photo sensors with the amplifier integrated into an M6 threaded housing.
Q2: What models are available?
A: The current lineup includes UX3-R5V and UX3-R5VPN.
Q3: What thread size does the UX3 Series use?
A: Both models use an M6 × 0.75 threaded housing for direct machine installation.
Q4: What is the detecting range?
A: The specified detecting range is 3–50 mm with a 100 × 100 mm white paper standard target.
Q5: What is the difference between UX3-R5V and UX3-R5VPN?
A: UX3-R5V provides NPN open-collector output, while UX3-R5VPN provides PNP open-collector output.
Q6: Can sensitivity be adjusted?
A: Yes. Both models have a built-in sensitivity adjustment dial for fine tuning to the target and installation distance.
Q7: What is the response time?
A: Both UX3 Series models provide a response time of 0.5 ms or less.
Q8: What is the protection rating?
A: Both models are rated IP67 and use SUS303 for the housing, nut, and internal-tooth washer.
Q9: Is the UX3 Series suitable for secondary-battery equipment?
A: Yes. Its stainless-steel construction is suitable for secondary-battery industry applications, and the lens is made of chemical-resistant polysulfone.
Q10: What applications are suitable for the UX3 Series?
A: The series is suited to general machinery, logistics, precision machinery, electronic component, and automotive equipment, including PCB passage detection inside machines.
