Basic Information
It is not easily affected by surrounding obstacles even in long distances.
Features
■ Since the beam is narrow, it has a feature by which it is not easily affected by surrounding obstacles even in long distances.
<Aperture angle 2° or less>Ultra-narrow beam [FT-KS40/KV40/KV40W]
Realized laser-like aperture angle of 2℃.
Use of the exclusive mounting bracket enables easy mounting without the need for grooving. The FT-KV40 and FT-KV40W are optimal for mounting on device-side mapping mechanism.
<Aperture angle 3° or less>Ultra-thin retroreflective type reduces construction work [FR-KZ22E]
The FR-KZ22E is a ultra-thin shape (fiber: 2 mm thick, reflector: 2.2 mm thick), it can be installed even on thin robot hands. Using the FR-KZ22E reduces wiring and robot hand processing, and secures strength because of the retroreflective type.
<Aperture angle 3° or less>Ultra-compact size [FT-KV26, FT-KV26H1]
Thanks to its ultra-compact size of just W2 × H1.5 × D20 mm W0.079 × H0.059 × D0.787 in, the FT-KV26H1 and FT-KV26 can be installed even in limited spaces such as robot hands.
Applications
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°
