The FC-R/PB2/N/12 is an industrial-grade, high-performance photoelectric sensor (typically a fiber-optic amplifier or diffuse-reflective sensor module). These products are commonly used in precision inspection, automated production lines, and semiconductor equipment.
1. Key Features
The core function of this model is non-contact object detection. It determines the presence, position, or color differences of objects by emitting a light beam and receiving the reflected light (or blocked light).
High-Precision Detection: Capable of identifying minute objects or thin materials (such as wafers and PCBs).
Fast Response: Features microsecond-level response times, suitable for high-speed production lines.
Signal Conversion: Converts optical signals into electrical signals (typically NPN or PNP outputs) for integration with PLCs or control systems.
Interference Resistance: Offers strong resistance to electromagnetic interference and ambient light interference.
2. Application Scenarios
Semiconductors and Electronics: Detecting the position of wafer cassettes (FOUPs) and confirming the proper placement of circuit boards.
Packaging Machinery: Counting packaging boxes and detecting missing labels.
Lithium Battery Industry: Monitoring the status of electrode sheet winding and unwinding.
Robotic End-Effectors: Acting as the “eyes” to assist robotic arms in achieving precise positioning before grasping.
3. How to Install and Use?
Step 1: Hardware Installation
Mounting the Bracket: Use the dedicated bracket to secure the sensor at the detection position, ensuring the lens center is aligned with the path of the object being measured.
Optical Path Calibration: For fiber-optic models, ｉｎｓｅｒｔ the fiber-optic cable into the amplifier port and secure it.
Step 2: Wiring (Typical NPN Wiring)
Be sure to refer to the cable color definitions in the product manual. Common standards are:
Brown: Connect to the positive power supply terminal (+V).
Blue: Connect to the negative power supply terminal (0V).
Black: Output signal line (connects to the PLC input).
White: May be the light-on/shade-on switch line.
Step 3: Commissioning and Setup
Power On: Check if the indicator light illuminates.
Sensitivity Setting: * Place an object at the detection position and press the SET button.
Remove the object and press the SET button again.
The amplifier will automatically calculate the threshold.
Status Verification: Verify that the output indicator light (typically orange) switches stably when an object passes by.
