TAKEX FAL-T5TYBC Flat-View Through-Beam Fiber Optic Sensor

• Flat-view through-beam sensing: The sensing axis is directed from the flat face of the sensing head, providing a mounting option distinct from the top-edge and side-edge versions.
• 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 maximum detecting distance is 1,120 mm when used with a compatible TAKEX fiber amplifier under the applicable operating conditions.
• Direct flush mounting: The sensing head mounts directly without a dedicated bracket and supports flush installation to minimize protrusion and accidental workpiece contact.
• 2 m free-cutting fiber: The 2 m fiber can be cut according to the required routing distance between the sensing position and fiber amplifier.

Q1: What is TAKEX FAL-T5TYBC?
A: FAL-T5TYBC is an ultra-slim flat-view through-beam fiber optic unit designed for narrow, shallow, and space-constrained automation equipment.

Q2: What detection method does FAL-T5TYBC 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-T5TYBC?
A: The maximum detecting distance is 1,120 mm. Actual distance depends on the compatible fiber amplifier and operating conditions.

Q4: What does flat view mean on FAL-T5TYBC?
A: The sensing axis is directed from the flat face of the sensing head, providing a different installation orientation from the top-edge and side-edge FAL models.

Q5: Which TAKEX fiber amplifiers are compatible with FAL-T5TYBC?
A: Compatible amplifiers include F100R, F70AR, F70R, F80R, F85RN, and XF12R-A.

Q6: How long is the FAL-T5TYBC fiber cable?
A: The fiber cable is 2 m long and features a free-cutting design for adjustment to the required installation length.

Q7: Does FAL-T5TYBC require a dedicated mounting bracket?
A: No. The flat sensing head can be mounted directly without a dedicated mounting bracket.

Q8: Is FAL-T5TYBC suitable for narrow spaces?
A: Yes. Its ultra-slim flat construction and flush-mount capability make it suitable for narrow and shallow installation spaces.

Q9: Does FAL-T5TYBC provide NPN or PNP output?
A: No. FAL-T5TYBC is a fiber optic unit and does not provide electrical output by itself. NPN or PNP output depends on the connected fiber amplifier.

Q10: What applications are suitable for FAL-T5TYBC?
A: It is suitable for compact automation equipment requiring through-beam presence, passage, or position detection with a flat-view sensing direction.
