Automation/Sensing Products

● Fiber Optic Sensors (FS Series)

Highest Speed [WORLD's BEST] Amazing 33μs response speed! 33μs response allows the FS-V30 to detect up to 15,150 workpieces per second. In addition, minute targets can be set on-the-fly with simple, one touch calibration. *Conventional models count max. 10,000 targets per second even in high-speed mode
Highest power [WORLD's BEST] More reliable detection in harsh environments. Longer detection distance with thin-sleeve fibers. The FALCON IV chip provides the highest power - MEGA mode. This power is essential for reliable detection in harsh environments. It also increases the detection range of miniaturized fibers.

● Photoelectric Sensors (PX Series)

Our heavy-duty photoelectric sensor is engineered to be oil-resistant, shock-resistant, rinsable, and water-proof. Whether it is blasting through dust, dirt, water, or oil or working form an incredible range, the PX’s industry-best durability and power enable it to solve the applications that standard photoelectric sensors find impossible.
