Parallel light lens FX-MR9
About 3 times more light received (compared to previous models)
Long-range parallel light
Since there is a large difference in the
amount of light received in applications
such as direction detection, it is easy to set
a threshold that will allow stable detection.
Additionally, these products offer an S/N
ratio that is 1.3 times better than previous
models.
Depending on the fiber with which it is
used, this lens creates parallel light with
a spot diameter of approximately ø4 mm
ø0.157 in at a sensing range of 0 to 30 mm
0 to 1.181 in.

Tightening torque 5 times (compared to previous models)
The standard aluminum body has been changed to
stainless steel (SUS 303) to reduce the likelihood of
damage from over-tightening.

Variable spot diameter
Standard lens outer diameter of ø4.3 mm (ø0.169 in)
Spot diameters ranging from ø0.4 to
ø3.5 mm ø0.016 to ø0.138 in can be
achieved by combining the lens with a
variety of fibers.
Use of the same mounting hardware across the product
line means less inventory and lower costs.
New square head fiber models for the Tough Series (break-free and bendable*)
* These fibers provide a combination of break-free (10 million times bending durability [typical value, when bent back and forth at 180° with a bending radius of R10 mm R0.394 in]) and
bendable (bending radius of R2 to R4 mm R0.079 to R0.157 in) characteristics.
Compact, space-saving
Compact installation
Fiber can be installed at a minimum pitch of
M3: 6.5 mm 0.256 in or M4: 8.5 mm 0.335 in using
needle-nose pliers.
Square head fiber heads can be installed cleanly on the
side of a conveyor belt. The design makes it less likely for
tools and other objects to catch on the fiber cable during
installation.

Notes: 1) The sensing ranges are the values when used in combination with
an FX-500 series amplifier (in STD mode).
2) The fiber cable length practically limits the sensing range.
Introducing square R1 mm (R0.039 in) (sharp bending) fiber
We now offer a sharp bending fiber featuring a low level of light fluctuations, even when bent at R1 mm R0.039 in. It is also
available with a lens capable of long-range sensing.
