FAQ
Q1: What are TAKEX FR1083BC and FR83BC?
A: They are φ3 cylindrical reflective fiber optic units with φ1.25 mm slim cables for object presence and position detection.
Q2: What is the difference between FR1083BC and FR83BC?
A: FR1083BC has a 1,000 mm series maximum detecting distance, φ1.0 mm core, and R30 bending radius. FR83BC has a 770 mm maximum, φ0.5 mm core, and R45 radius.
Q3: What is the maximum detecting distance of FR1083BC?
A: The series maximum detecting distance is 1,000 mm. Actual distance depends on the fiber amplifier and operating mode.
Q4: What is the maximum detecting distance of FR83BC?
A: The series maximum detecting distance is 770 mm. Actual distance depends on the fiber amplifier and operating mode.
Q5: What tip size do FR1083BC and FR83BC use?
A: Both models use φ3 cylindrical sensing heads rather than threaded tips.
Q6: Do both models have the same fiber cable diameter and length?
A: Yes. Both use φ1.25 mm fiber cables with a 2 m free-cutting length.
Q7: Which model has the smaller allowable bending radius?
A: FR1083BC has an R30 allowable bending radius, compared with R45 for FR83BC.
Q8: What is the ambient temperature range of FR1083BC and FR83BC?
A: Both models operate from −30 to +70°C.
Q9: Which fiber amplifiers are compatible with FR1083BC and FR83BC?
A: Both can be used with F2R, F70R, F70AR, F80R, and F85RN. Detecting distance varies by amplifier and operating mode.
Q10: What applications are suitable for FR1083BC and FR83BC?
A: They are suitable for object presence and position detection requiring φ3 cylindrical heads, φ1.25 mm slim fiber cables, and reflective sensing from one side of the target.
