F&C Slot-type Photoelectric Sensor FC-SPX315

The FC-SPX315 is a slot-type photoelectric sensor manufactured by F&C Sensing Technology. It is used in industrial manufacturing to detect the presence or absence of an object.

Specifications

• Sensor type: Slot or U-type photoelectric sensor.
• Sensing principle: An infrared transmitter sends a modulated light beam across a 15mm gap to a photoelectric receiver. When an object interrupts the beam, the sensor is triggered.
• Operating voltage: Supports a wide range from 5 to 24 VDC.
• Output: The FC-SPX315 model is available with both NPN and PNP output types. It features a 4-wire output, with both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) circuits built-in.
• Detection distance: 15mm.
• Response time: The sensor has a maximum response time of 0.3ms.
• Features: It is made of corrosion-resistant ABS+PC material and is highly sunlight-resistant.
• Mounting: The sensor uses a screw mount.

Typical applications

• Position sensing: Used for precise object positioning in assembly lines.
• Object detection: Detecting and counting small objects as they pass through the slot.
• Machinery: Common in automated equipment and linear slide modules for reliable, contactless switching.
