R55FQ

R55FQ is a R55F series fibre-optic sensor developed to provide simplicity of operation and access to tight areas for colour mark sensing applications. R55F sensor features TEACH sensitivity adjustment, by presenting the light and the dark sensing conditions to the sensor. In addition, sensitivity may be finetuned at any time by clicking the + or - buttons on the sensor. The ten-element signal strength light bar clearly displays the relative received signal strength. The bipolar (one NPN and one PNP) outputs may be configured to include a 20- or 40-millisecond pulse stretcher (OFF Delay), if required. Both TEACH sensitivity adjustment and output setup are accomplished using the pushbuttons on the sensor, or by supplying input pulses using the remote line. Depending on beam colour, reliably detects toughest colour mark contrasts, including 20% yellow against white.

• Outstanding colour contrast sensitivity, detects 16 levels of grey scale, IP67 rating
• Fibers mount in small and otherwise inaccessible areas, NEMA 6 rating
• Manual sensitivity adjustment, non-volatile memory
• Glass fibre models function well in harsh environments typically associated with printing processes
• Plastic fibre models function well in applications that require repeated flexing of the fibres
• Fibers install quickly without tools, bipolar (NPN/PNP) o/ps with 3 delay settings (0, 20 or 40ms)
• Infrared, 880nm colour, 5-pin M12/Euro-style male quick disconnect cable
• Operating temperature range from -10 to 55°C
