For long range / alignment [FD-L45A]

■Stable detection even on complicated deflection
Stable detection is possible even when a complicated glass deflection occurs on a multipoint support rack. Also, alignment range is longer than the previous model.

■Long range alignment is possible
long range type with a sensing range of 10 to 32 mm 0.394 to 1.260 in and a inclination of sensing object (θ, ω) = (±2°, ±2°) has a wide alignment range and can apply to largegeneration glass substrates.

■Extraneous influence eliminated
Long-range sensing as long as 32 mm 1.260 in is achieved, while objects further than 60 mm 2.362 in are non-detectable. Therefore, the surrounding objects such as frames or neighboring glass are ineffective.

For alignment / 250 ℃ (482 ℉) heat-resistant type [FD-H25-L43/45]

■Fiber head is heat-resistant and 40 % lighter than previous models
The fiber head is made of heat-resistant ABS.
With its lightness in weight, installation on a robot hand does not create any burden.

■Usable for substrates of different sizes
Models corresponding to the specific glass size are available in ordinary temperature type as well.

■Dual beam-receiving window enable for wide range detection
Wide receiving window corresponds to the inclination of substrate. The fiber sharply turns OFF beyond far-point.

For long range / object presence detection [FD-L47]

■Accurate detection
FD-L47 stably detects the presence of glass substrates within the range from 0 to 30 mm 0 to 1.181 in.
Moreover, objects at 40 mm 1.575 in or further will not be detected, which means only glass substrates inside the rack will be detected piece by piece.

■Accurate detection
The sensing distance is 8 to 17 mm 0.315 to 0.669 in within an inclination of sensing object (θ, ω) = (±3°, ±3°). Detection is possible even large-generation substrates with defl ection.

■Extended fiber length
Fiber length is standardized at 3 m 9.843 ft. It fits into robot used for large-generation substrates so that there is no worry for space taken to install amplifiers.

Compact size convergent reflective fibers

SUNX has it all for glass substrate detection: a full lineup of fibers specializing in mapping, alignment, and seating confirmation for glass substrate conveyors.

Mapping fiber [FD-L46]

■Accurate mapping even for thin glass substrates
The adoption of a unique large lens allows even thin glass substrates to be sensed directly from the side. In addition, because the sensing range is wide (25 ± 12.5 mm 0.984 ± 0.492 in), stable mapping is possible even if glass substrates are in irregular positions.

■Can be used for a variety of glass substrates
Large amount of light can be obtained for a variety of glass edge shapes such as R surfaces and C surfaces, so that accurate mapping of glass substrates inside cassettes is possible.

Long range / alignment fiber [FD-L45]

■Alignment at an even longer range made possible
This fiber has a sensing range of 0 to 30 mm 0 to 1.181 in and an alignment range of 10 to 25 mm 0.394 to 0.984 in. This wide range of alignment makes it perfect for large glass substrates. (FAST mode)

■Ideal for the increasing size of glass substrates
This fiber is perfect for enlarged processing lines constructed to handle the recent increase in the scale of glass substrates.

・Sensing possible even if the pitch between glass substrates is wide.

・Extended sensing range handy for when large-scale robot arms bend increasing the distance of the object from the fiber.

・Fiber cable length 3 m 9.843 ft (Free-cut)
 Designed for mounting on large-scale robots
・Alignment possible in FAST mode (150 μs)
 Throughput is improved thanks to its quick startup.

Alignment fiber [FD-L43]

■Stable detection with a deflection of ± 8°
Increases in sizes of glass substrates mean greater amounts of deflection, but a single fiber can detect glass even if horizontal deflection is within ±8° (previously ±6°).

■Sensing range 0 to 23 mm 0 to 0.906 in
Stable sensing is possible over even longer sensing ranges.
In addition, the fiber will not detect a glass substrate 30 mm 1.181 in or more away achieving outstanding detecting characteristics for limited distance.

■Improved high-precision sensing over wide ranges
A sensing range of 3 to 17 mm 0.118 to 0.669 in (previously 5 to 17 mm 0.197 to 0.669 in) and a positioning error of 0.2 mm 0.008 in or less make higher precision sensing possible.

Seating confirmation fiber [FD-L44]

■Sensing range 0 to 7 mm 0 to 0.276 in
Long sensing range for seating confirmation.
Detection is even possible if absorption pads are presented.

■Stable sensing of colored glass substrates
Independent, large-scale lenses is built-in. Large amounts of light can be received, enabling stable sensing even of glass substrates that have been colored (with low reflectivity) by their treatment conditions.

■The short range type FD-L44S is also available
・Can sense small glass substrates with narrow pitch and wafers.
・Same large amounts of light as the FD-L44 can be obtained.

Ultra compact / sharp bending fiber [FD-WL48]

■Ultra-compact size saves space
The ultra-compact size of W7.2 x H7.5 x D2 mm W0.283 x H0.295 x D0.079 in holds a convergent reflective optical system. These fiber heads can now be mounted in locations and devices that were previously impossible because of a lack of space. As a result, an even wider range of applications is now available.

■Single boss mounting saves space
The fiber head is mounted using the boss attached to the back and a single M2 countersunk head screw, so that the fiber heads are compact and take up less mounting space.

■Minimum bending radius R1 mm R0.039 in
Sharp bending fibers are used, so that the fiber cables can be bent to a bending radius of 1 mm 0.039 in.
