Photoelectric with Built-in Amplifier Z3 Series * FASTUS is a product brand of Optex FA. Through-beam type Z3T- Retro-reflective type Z3R-4 Diffuse-reflective type Z3D- Limited-reflective type Z3D-L9 Transparent object detection Z3R-Q (Scheduled for release in August 4) The New Industry-standard Longest-in-class sensing distance of m * Red LED and through-beam types Significantly reduced dead zone Indicators clearly visible from anywhere OPTE FA CO., LTD.
The next evolution of the globally acclaimed Z series standard photoelectric sensor Over 3 Million units of the Z series have been shipped globally. FASTUS set out to improve upon the design of this popular self-contained photoelectric sensor series while keeping the same ease of use. Introducing the new Z3 series with greatly improved detection performance, usability, and increased value for the money. The Z3 series easily exceeds the requirements of general-purpose photoelectric sensors. High Power LED Provides Stable Detection The Z3 series through-beam type sensor has a m sensing distance, the longest in its class. This high power provides a significant increase in excess gain, which helps the sensor overcome interference from dust or other fine particles. Sensing Distance Plus Sensing Distance Easy optical axis adjustment thanks to a large spot size with good visibility Four-element LED helps reduce beam degradation during long-term use Conventional model Z3T- m More than the sensing distance Z3T- Conventional model 3 3 Sensing distance (m) m Applications Detecting or counting boxes flowing through a process (Retro-reflective type) Detecting plastic bottles on a conveyor (Retro-reflective type for transparent object detection) Detecting tires protruding from conveyors (Through-beam type)
Output and stability indicators are brighter than those of conventional models and easier to view from any direction. Significantly Reduced Dead Zone The diffuse-reflective type features an optimized optical receiver system that successfully minimizes the dead zone in front of the lens. This makes it easier to detect workpieces with a low reflectivity that pass close to the sensor even on lines that convey workpieces of varying heights. Close range dead zone (typical values) Gray paper (8%) Black paper (6%) Conventional model Z3D- Conventional model Z3D- Up to mm No dead zone even with gray paper Up to 3 mm Up to mm Less than one-sixth the dead zone of previous models Lineup Type Appearance Model (Connector type) Sensing range NPN type PNP type m Z3T-N (Z3T-CN4) Z3T-P (Z3T-CP4). to 4 m Z3R-4N (Z3R-4CN4) Z3R-4P (Z3R-4CP4) Diffuse-reflective to m Z3D-N (Z3D-CN4) Z3D-P (Z3D-CP4) Limited-reflective to 9 mm Z3D-L9N (Z3D-L9CN4) Z3D-L9P (Z3D-L9CP4). to m Z3R-QN (Z3R-QCN4) Z3R-QP (Z3R-QCP4) Through-beam Retro-reflective* Transparent object detection* *Coming soon *s sold separately Detecting large packed items on a conveyor (Through-beam type) Detecting boxes protruding from shelves (Through-beam type) Detecting palletized plastic bottles (Retro-reflective type for transparent object detection) 3
