Keyence FU-24X Fiber Optic Sensor

Keyence Fiber Unit Optic Sensor FU-24X, Reflective Fibre Unit FU-24X M3, R10 mm Minimum bend radius, Straight Shape

The FU-24X refers to a reflective fiber optic sensor unit manufactured by Keyence. It is a component used in industrial automation and sensing applications, designed for the high-precision detection of small objects.

Key specifications and features

• Reflective fiber unit: The sensor works by emitting and receiving light through the same sensing head, which allows it to detect objects by reflecting light off their surface.
• Detection of small objects: The FU-24X is capable of detecting extremely small items. When configured optimally, it can detect a gold wire with a diameter of just 0.005 mm.
• Coaxial detection arrangement: The light is emitted and received along the same axis, which enhances the stability of detection.
• Compact size: The unit features an M3 size for easy installation in tight spaces.
• Fixed length: The fiber optic cable is a non-cuttable length of 50 cm.
• Straight shape: The sensing head has a straight shape for simple mounting.
• Operating temperature: It is designed to operate in ambient temperatures from -40 to +50 °C.
• Use with amplifier: To function, the FU-24X must be connected to a compatible fiber amplifier unit from Keyence, which provides the necessary power and processing.
