TAKEX FAL-R5TYBC Flat-View Reflective Fiber Optic Sensor

• Flat-view reflective sensing: The sensing axis is directed from the flat face of the head, while transmitting and receiving optics remain on the same sensing side.
• Ultra-slim flat construction: The low-profile sensing head fits narrow and shallow spaces where conventional protruding fiber heads may be difficult to install.
• Up to 300 mm detection: Detecting distance reaches up to 300 mm when paired with the F100R amplifier in long-range mode, with other ranges available by amplifier and operating mode.
• Direct flush mounting: The sensing head installs directly without a dedicated mounting bracket and supports flush mounting to minimize protrusion and workpiece interference.
• R1 free-cutting fiber: The 2 m free-cutting fiber supports an allowable bending radius of R1 for flexible routing inside compact equipment.

Q1: What is TAKEX FAL-R5TYBC?
A: FAL-R5TYBC is an ultra-slim flat-view reflective fiber optic unit designed for object detection in narrow, shallow, and space-constrained equipment.

Q2: What detection method does FAL-R5TYBC use?
A: It uses a reflective sensing method with transmitting and receiving optics located on the same sensing side.

Q3: What is the maximum detecting distance of FAL-R5TYBC?
A: The maximum detecting distance is 300 mm when paired with the F100R amplifier in long-range mode.

Q4: What does flat view mean on FAL-R5TYBC?
A: The sensing axis exits 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-R5TYBC?
A: Compatible amplifiers include F100R, F70AR, F70R, F80R, F85RN, and XF12R-A.

Q6: How long is the FAL-R5TYBC fiber cable?
A: The fiber cable is 2 m long and uses a free-cutting design for adjustment to the required installation length.

Q7: What is the allowable bending radius of FAL-R5TYBC?
A: The allowable bending radius is R1, supporting flexible routing in compact and space-constrained equipment.

Q8: What is the ambient temperature range of FAL-R5TYBC?
A: The ambient temperature range is −40 to +70°C under non-freezing and non-condensing conditions.

Q9: Does FAL-R5TYBC provide NPN or PNP output?
A: No. FAL-R5TYBC 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-R5TYBC?
A: It is suitable for presence, position, and close-range object detection in compact equipment requiring single-side reflective sensing with a flat-view sensing direction.
