FAQ
Q1: What is the TAKEX JS2 Series?
A: The JS2 Series consists of modular through-beam light curtain sensors that can be coupled to create wide and shaped detection areas.
Q2: What is the detecting distance?
A: The JS2 Series provides a detecting distance of 5 m.
Q3: What is the maximum detection width?
A: The 20 mm type supports up to 96 optical axes and 1,900 mm, while the 40 mm type supports up to 48 axes and 1,880 mm.
Q4: What beam intervals are available?
A: The system supports 20 mm and 40 mm beam intervals, which can be combined according to the installation.
Q5: What is the minimum detectable object size?
A: The 20 mm type detects opaque objects Φ30 mm or larger, while the 40 mm type detects Φ50 mm or larger.
Q6: Are NPN and PNP outputs available?
A: Yes. JS2-T2M and JS2-T4M provide NPN outputs, while JS2-T2MPN and JS2-T4MPN provide PNP outputs. Main units have two open-collector outputs.
Q7: What does the SCF function do?
A: SCF is the self-check function. If a monitored fault causes the FAIL indicator to turn on, the control output switches OFF.
Q8: Can JS2 create L- or U-shaped sensing areas?
A: Yes. JS2-V corner units and JS2-F flexible units allow L-shaped, U-shaped, and other angled configurations.
Q9: Does the JS2 Series support anti-interference?
A: Yes. Master/slave synchronization can be used to reduce interference between two sensor sets.
Q10: What applications are suitable for the JS2 Series?
A: It is suited to machines requiring wide or non-linear detection areas, including entry detection around processing equipment and large automation systems.
