F&C Slotted Optical Sensor (U-type Photoelectric Sensor) FC-SPX315P

The FC-SPX315P is a type of slotted optical sensor (U-type photoelectric sensor) manufactured by F&C Sensing Technology. It uses an infrared light beam to detect the presence or absence of an object that passes through its slot.

Specifications

• Sensor type: Slotted (U-type), through-beam photoelectric sensor.
• Detection distance: 15mm.
• Output type: PNP, with both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) outputs. The four-wire configuration allows access to both functions.
• Detection object: Opaque objects with a diameter of 1mm or more.
• Light source: 940nm infrared modulated light.
• Operating voltage: DC 5–24V.
• Protection: Includes power anti-received protection (reverse polarity) and short-circuit protection.
• Indicator: An LED indicator shows the working status.
• Protection degree: IP64.
• Material: ABS.
• Wiring: 4-wire, pre-wired cable approximately 2 meters long.

Applications

The FC-SPX315P is designed for industrial automation tasks that require high accuracy. Its uses include:

• Homing detection
• Original position control
• Detecting the presence of objects on a production line
