Red, green and blue LEDs
Easy set up
FZ-10 incorporates red, green and blue
LEDs as its beam sources, which
promise longer lifetime and greater
immunity against extraneous light than
fluorescent lamps and are also maintenance free.
Just pressing a button recognizes the reference color you want to detect as the
criterion. There are two methods to set the criterion, manual teaching and
auto-teaching. The tolerance adjuster also allows you to set the tolerance of color
equivalence in 16 grades.
Criterion
Manual teaching
Auto-teaching
Place a workpiece bearing the reference
color under the fiber head and press the
teaching button.
Keep pressing the teaching button until a
workpiece bearing the reference color travels
past the fiber head.

Excellent color detectability
Each of the red, green and blue components is digitally processed so that
precise color discrimination is possible.
FZ-10 can discriminate between white
and yellow or distinguish if a surface is
plated or not, that could never be possible with conventional fiber sensors
which were based on detection of light
intensity.

Evaluating if objects are plated or not
(Note 1)
Its precise color resolution discriminates a bare metal surface from a plated metal surface.
Detecting seals on boxes
It can reliably detect the presence of a
seal on every package in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, tobacco, and
software industries.
Notes: 1) FD-L52 fiber head (high precision type) or FD-L53 fiber head (extremely small spot type) is recommended for applications in which specular objects,
having a high reflective index are to be detected, e.g., evaluating if metal objects are plated or not.
FD-L54 fiber head (long sensing range type) is recommended for applications where the object wavers on the assembly line.
Notes: 2) FZ-10 may not be able to detect color depending on object shape, color, glossiness, etc. Please test before actual use and contact our office if you have
any questions.

Four types of fibers are available
High-speed response time: 1 ms
The amplifier is only W20H31.5
D67 mm W0.787H1.240D2.638 in
in size and the fiber head is just 7 mm
0.276 in, 8 mm 0.315 in or 12 mm
0.472 in thick, so that it is mountable in
a tight space.
The fiber can be selected according to
the application and object size. The
color of even a small object can be reliably detected.
Small traveling objects can be sensed
even on a high-speed production line,
due to its response time of 1 ms.

Notes: 1) The sensing range of each fiber is the range for which white non-glossy paper can be detected at the sensitivity for which teaching has been done with
a white non-glossy paper (5050 mm 1.9691.969 in) at the respective rated setting distance and at the 16th grade (d mark) of tolerance.
Notes: 2) If the fiber cable is bent at less than R25 mm 0.984 in or less, the detectability may deteriorate.
Notes: 3) Since fiber FD-L51 (standard type) is easily affected by specular reflection, it is possible that teaching may not be properly done or sensing may be
unstable if objects of high reflectivity (mirror, plated objects, copper foil, etc.) are sensed. When such objects are to be sensed, please use FD-L52 (high
precision type) or FD-L53 (extremely small spot type) and make sure that the projected optical beam is perpendicular to the object surface.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
Refer to p.1135l for general precautions.
Amplifier
• During teaching, the FZ-10 series resolves the color projected by the spot into red, green, and blue components which
are processed as numerical values and stored into the EEPROM memory. If, during teaching, the spot area is not filled
by one uniform color, such as when the target objects are smaller than the spot area, or are partly proEmitting spot
jected upon, then colors other than the one you want to detect may also be sensed. Make sure that objects
fill the whole spot area during teaching, as well as, sensing.
The taught data is saved in the EEPROM even when the sensor power supply is switched off. However,
the guaranteed rewrite operations are limited to 100,000 times because of its lifetime.

may fail depending upon the tolerance grade. If this happens, change the tolerance grade and repeat the teaching.
• For 16th to 5th grade, color identification is done based
upon the color (red, green, blue) component ratio. For 4th
to 1th grade (precise range), brightness is also considered
for color identification. Hence, when the adjuster is set to
the FINE side (4th to 1th grade), minute differences in
gloss or color shades are also detected.

Tolerance of equivalence
• The FZ-10 series is incorporated with an OFF-delay timer
fixed for 40 ms approx. The OFF-delay timer operates when
the timer operation mode switch is set on ‘OFD’. Since the
output signal is extended by a fixed time interval, this function
is useful when the connected device has a slow response
time or if small objects are being detected, resulting in a short
output signal width.

• The tolerance adjuster determines the
tolerance of equivalence with respect
to the reference color in 16 grades.
• Set the arrow mark of the adjuster to
the desired grade from 1st to 16th
using the adjusting screwdriver.

range
Tolerance in precise range (4th to 1st grade)
• Within the precise range, color is identified in all
aspects of hue, chroma, and lightness. Hence, the sensor
can discriminate the reference color from others even if
there is a subtle difference in glossiness or density.
• After the tolerance is set within the precise range, the
sensor should be used under an ambient temperature of
15 to35 °C 59 to95 °F. Also, periodical teaching
should be done to maintain the stable sensing conditions.
Before teaching, wait for a warm-up time of 10 min. approx.
after switching on the power supply.
• Please take care that extraneous light or vibration may
affect the detectability.
Fiber
Mounting
• Mount with two M3 screws with a tightening torque of
0.5 N m or less.
M3 screws
• Several fiber heads of FD-L51, FD-L52, FD-L53 and
FD-L54 can be mounted close together as long as their
emitted spots do not overlap.
Others
• If the bending radius is smaller than the allowable value,
the sensing performance may deteriorate.
• Wipe dirt or stains from the sensing faces with a soft cloth.
Do not use any organic solvent for cleaning.
• Ensure that any strong extraneous light is not incident on
the receiving face of the fiber head.
• Do not move or bend the fiber cable after the sensitivity
setting. Detection may become unstable.
• Keep the fiber head surface intact. If it is scratched or
spoiled, the detectability will deteriorate.
• Do not expose the fiber cable to any organic solvents.
• Ensure that the fiber head is not directly exposed to water.
A water drop on the fiber head deteriorates the sensing.
• Do not apply excessive tensile force to the fiber cable.
