TAKEX FAL-T5SYBC Side-Edge Through-Beam Fiber Optic Sensor

• Side-edge through-beam sensing: The side-view configuration directs the sensing beam from the edge of the flat head, providing an additional mounting orientation for compact equipment.
• Ultra-slim flat construction: The low-profile sensing head fits narrow or shallow spaces where conventional protruding fiber heads may be difficult to install.
• Up to 1,120 mm detection: The fiber optic unit provides a maximum detecting distance of 1,120 mm when used with a compatible TAKEX fiber amplifier.
• Direct flush mounting: The sensing head mounts directly without a dedicated mounting bracket and supports flush installation to minimize protrusion.
• 2 m free-cutting fiber: The 2 m fiber can be cut to suit the required routing distance, providing flexible installation inside compact machinery.

Q1: What is TAKEX FAL-T5SYBC?
A: FAL-T5SYBC is an ultra-slim flat through-beam fiber optic unit with side-edge sensing for narrow or shallow installation spaces.

Q2: What detection method does FAL-T5SYBC use?
A: It uses a through-beam detection method with transmitting and receiving fiber heads positioned opposite each other.

Q3: What is the maximum detecting distance of FAL-T5SYBC?
A: The maximum detecting distance is 1,120 mm. Actual sensing performance depends on the compatible fiber amplifier and operating conditions.

Q4: What does side-edge view mean on FAL-T5SYBC?
A: The sensing beam is directed from the side edge of the flat sensing head, providing a lateral sensing orientation for compact equipment layouts.

Q5: How long is the FAL-T5SYBC fiber optic cable?
A: The fiber length is 2 m and uses a free-cutting design, allowing it to be adjusted to the required installation length.

Q6: Does FAL-T5SYBC require a dedicated mounting bracket?
A: No. The flat sensing head can be mounted directly without a dedicated mounting bracket.

Q7: Is FAL-T5SYBC suitable for narrow installation spaces?
A: Yes. Its slim flat construction and flush-mount design are intended for narrow or shallow installation spaces.

Q8: Which fiber amplifiers are compatible with FAL-T5SYBC?
A: Compatible amplifiers include F100R, F70AR, F70R, F80R, F85RN, and XF12R-A.

Q9: Does FAL-T5SYBC provide NPN or PNP output?
A: No. FAL-T5SYBC 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 it.

Q10: What applications are suitable for FAL-T5SYBC?
A: It is suitable for compact automation equipment requiring through-beam presence, passage, or position detection from a side-oriented sensing axis.
