Basic Information
Breakthrough in vacuum-resistant fibers
One-Touch Connection Just in 1 Second*
* Time required to connect one fiber to the flange.
Features
Easier and simpler. Amazingly easy to connect!
Vacuum-resistant fiber flange designed to enable easy connection (one-touch connection) and disconnection of fibers one by one or at the same time.
One-touch connection just in 1 second
Simply insert the fiber into the flange
The newly developed one-touch connection system allows easy connection of a fiber by simply positioning the fiber in the specified direction and inserting. The fiber can be disconnected by pulling the holding bracket up. The one-touch connection system helps reduce working hours dramatically.
Thread fastening typeIt is difficult to tighten with a glove-covered hand.Small parts can be easily lost.Excessive tightening can break or bend the wire.
One-touch typeOne-touch connection system reduces working hours and workload dramatically.Connection is as easy as inserting the fiber into the flange.Easy connection without a tool or torque management.*The disconnection prevention structure uses a holding bracket that engages securely with the joint bracket.
Vacuum-resistant 4CH / 1CH flange
Requires drilling of only one hole
The flange connection system requires less space for the fiber lead-in section and fewer holes to drill.
Previously, one installation hole had to be drilled for each fiber. The vacuum-resistant flange requires only one hole even for multiple fibers, thus reducing the hole drilling cost and the possibility of leakage.
Conventional fiber lead-in sectionA hole must be drilled for each fiber at the lead-in section.An ample space is needed for inserting a hand and using a tool.
Fiber lead-in section of the vacuum-resistant flangeOnly one hole needs to be drilled even for the connection of eight fibers. This reduces the processing cost and the worries for leakage to 1/8.Saves space at the lead-in section because fibers can be grouped and connected.
Leakage seal construction
The leakage seal construction has built-in glass wires inside the flange and allows transmission of only light to the vacuum side.
Leakage remains unchanged even when fiber is not connected.
* Leakage from 4CH / 1CH flange: 1.0 × 10-10 Pa·m3/s [He] or less
Applications
Detection of glass seating on robot hand
Contributes to your product quality improvement and workload reduction
Using the integrated manufacturing system established in our factory, we conduct all processes ranging from product development to production, quality control, packaging and shipping.
Vacuum baking for the reduction of outgas
The vacuum side fiber and flange are cleaned and baked, and then seal-packed and doublepacked for shipping.
Customizable fiber length
We offer semi-custom products in which the fiber length can be specified in 100 mm 3.937 in increments. Different fiber lengths can be specified for the emitting side and receiving side. Contact our sales office for semi-custom products.

・
:
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.
Vacuum-resistant flange
Applicable fibers are FT-40V, FD-KZ50V, FD-L10V and FT-J9.
| Designation | Model No. | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vacuum-resistant flange 1CH | FV-FR1 |
| Atmospheric side and vacuum side are isolated. Recommended thickness of vacuum chamber wall ・For FV-FR1: 3.0 to 40.0 mm 0.118 to 1.575 in (Note 1) |
| Vacuum-resistant flange 4CH | FV-FR4 |
| Atmospheric side and vacuum side are isolated. Recommended thickness of vacuum chamber wall ・For FV-FR4: 3.0 mm 0.118 in or more (Note 2) |
Notes :
1)Confirm the wall thickness in advance since the FV-FR1 cannot be installed to a vacuum chamber with a wall thickness outside the recommended thickness range.
2)If the vacuum chamber wall is too thick, the FV-FR4 may not be able to connect to the vacuum side fiber. In that case, connect the FV-FR4 to the vacuum side fiber before the installation.
