TAKEX FAL-T5YBC Ultra-Slim Through-Beam Fiber Optic Unit

• Ultra-slim flat construction: The flat sensing head fits narrow or shallow installation spaces where conventional protruding fiber heads may be difficult to mount.
• Top-edge through-beam sensing: The through-beam configuration provides top-edge sensing for flexible optical-axis placement according to machine layout and workpiece travel direction.
• Up to 3,000 mm detecting distance: Detecting distance reaches up to 3,000 mm when paired with the F100R amplifier in long-range mode, with other distances available depending on amplifier and operating mode.
• Direct flush mounting: The flat housing can be mounted directly without a dedicated mounting bracket, reducing protrusion and helping protect the sensing head from accidental contact.
• R1 free-cutting fiber: The 2 m fiber is free-cutting and supports an allowable bending radius of R1 for flexible routing inside compact automation equipment.

Q1: What is TAKEX FAL-T5YBC?
A: FAL-T5YBC is an ultra-slim flat through-beam fiber optic unit with top-edge sensing, designed for object presence, passage, and position detection in space-limited equipment.

Q2: What detection method does FAL-T5YBC use?
A: It uses a through-beam method with transmitting and receiving fiber heads positioned opposite each other.

Q3: What is the maximum detecting distance of FAL-T5YBC?
A: The maximum detecting distance is 3,000 mm when used with the F100R amplifier in long-range mode. Actual distance depends on the amplifier and operating mode.

Q4: Which TAKEX fiber amplifiers can be used with FAL-T5YBC?
A: Compatible amplifiers include F100R, F70AR, F70R, F80R, F85RN, and XF12R-A, with different detecting distances depending on the selected amplifier and mode.

Q5: How long is the FAL-T5YBC fiber cable, and can it be cut?
A: The fiber cable is 2 m long and uses a free-cutting design, allowing the length to be adjusted for the installation.

Q6: Is FAL-T5YBC suitable for narrow installation spaces?
A: Yes. Its slim flat construction is designed for narrow or shallow spaces and can be mounted directly without a dedicated mounting bracket.

Q7: What is the allowable bending radius of FAL-T5YBC?
A: The allowable bending radius is R1, supporting flexible routing inside compact equipment.

Q8: What is the ambient temperature range of FAL-T5YBC?
A: The ambient temperature range is −40 to +70°C under non-freezing and non-condensing conditions.

Q9: Does FAL-T5YBC provide NPN or PNP output?
A: No. FAL-T5YBC is a fiber optic unit and does not provide an electrical output by itself. NPN or PNP output depends on the fiber amplifier used with the unit.

Q10: What applications are suitable for FAL-T5YBC?
A: It is suitable for automatic assembly, parts feeders, and other space-limited equipment requiring workpiece presence, passage, or position detection.
