Panasonic FD-61 Optic Fibre Head

Product Description

The Panasonic FD61, part number UFD61, is a high-performance reflective type fiber optic sensor tailored for precise and reliable detection tasks. This sensor is designed with a threaded fiber head, measuring M6 in diameter and 17 mm in length. Notably, it operates without a sleeve and features a top-view beam direction. The beam axis position accuracy, tightly controlled at 150 micrometers, ensures precise alignment. Its active counterpart maintains the beam axis inclination within a tolerance of plus or minus 3 degrees.

This ensures exceptional alignment precis ion, critical in applications requiring exact positioning. The sensor includes a 2-meter fiber cable, offering flexibility with an allowable bending radius of R4 mm, and the fiber is free-cuttable, allowing for custom lengths as needed.

In terms of environmental resistance, the Panasonic FD-61 Optic Fibre Head is built to withstand harsh conditions. It carries an IP67 protection rating, signifying its robustness against dust and water ingress. The operational temperature range is impressive, withstanding ambient temperatures as low as -55 degrees Celsius and as high as 80 degrees Celsius. This wide temperature range makes it suitable for use in various industrial settings, including extreme environments. Additionally, its active counterpart™s versatility in general-purpose applications ensures its utilization across different sectors.

The sensor has a substantial sensing range of 450 mm. This is approximately 17.717 inches. When paired with the FX-500 series amplifiers, its active counterpart, the sensor achieves optimized performance. This pairing provides reliable performance over significant distances.

For installation, the Panasonic FD-61 Optic Fibre Head offers specific mounting options. Although it does not come with a mounting lens, it is compatible with protective tubes such as FDP-500, FDP-1000, and FDP-1500. These accessories enhance its durability and longevity, especially in demanding applications. Manufactured in Japan, the FD61 reflects Panasonic™s commitment to quality and precision engineering. Its combination of high accuracy, environmental resistance, and flexible installation options make it a preferred choice for industries requiring dependable fiber optic sensing solutions.
