Smart Fiber Amplifier E3NX-FA
Caution
- The product images are representative only. Specifications may vary by part number, including shape and color.
Product Description
Smart fiber amplifier that achieves ultra-stable detection and ultra-easy setup.
[Features]
· Detection distance: 1.5 times greater, smallest detectable object: approximately 1/10 the size—two fundamental performance improvements
· Ultra-simple setup with "Smart Tuning" has evolved, offering a light intensity adjustment range 40,000 times wider. Even when light intensity is saturated, optimal adjustment ensures stable detection.
· Adopts a "white display" for clear, highly visible readings
· Peace of mind with the "Solution Viewer," which displays the passage time and received light difference, and the "Change Finder," which shows the display values for high-speed workpieces.
