Basic Information
Since it has a thin, rectangular shape, it can be installed in narrow locations.
Features
■ Since it has a thin, rectangular shape, it can be installed in narrow locations. It is also a fiber with good workability and can be mounted directly with screws.
Supplied with a boss that allows for a single mount point
The fiber can be fastened with either a single M2 or M3 screw, and all mounting holes are reinforced with a metal sleeve for durability against excess tightening torque.
• Models that use a M2 screw
FT-Z20W, FT-Z20HBW, FD-Z20W, FD-Z20HBW
• Models that use a M3 screw
FT-Z40W, FT-Z40HBW, FD-Z40W, FD-Z40HBW
Fiber guide provides additional space savings
FT-Z□HBW and FD-Z□HBW are equipped with a fiber guide feature. Top sensing and side sensing can be selected with one head.
Introducing a tough fiber that transcends common knowledge!
It has toughness that can be used in moving parts, toughness that can be bent with precision,and high-quality for all purposes.
It changes common knowledge about fibers.
* Bending radius: R10 mmR0.394 in, Reciprocating bending: 180°

(Note 1) :
The material of reflector incorporated inside the fiber head has been changed from production in June, 2015.
[Reflector color] Old: gold / New: silver
Due to this change, the sensing ranges of FX-301B/G and FX-411B/G (blue/green LED types) are improved.
Refer to "List of fibers" on each amplifier page for the sensing range.
・Refer to "Digital Fiber Sensor FX-550/FX-550L List of fibers", "Digital Fiber Sensor FX-500 Ver.2 List of fibers" and "Digital Fiber Sensor FX-100 List of fibers" for the sensing range.
・
:
Refers to a fiber which possesses both unbreakable (bending radius: R10 mm R0.394 in, reciprocating bending: 180°) and more flexible (bending radius: R4 mm R0.157 in or less) features.
