・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.

tough:
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.

Note:The sensing range is the possible setting range for the reflector. The fiber can detect an object less than 100 mm 3.937 in. However, note that if there are any white or highly-reflective surfaces near the fiber head, reflected incident light may affect the fiber head. If this occurs, adjust the threshold value of the amplifier unit before use.
