PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE.

Fiber

Fiber cutter (FX-CT2)

•To cut the fiber cables, insert them from the direction shown below.

(Fiber cable insertion direction)

How to use fiber cutter (FX-CT2)

1Slide part A of the fiber cutter fully upward till it stops.

2 Insert the fiber cables, mounted in the attachment, till they stop.

Take care that there are separate fiber insertion cable (holes for "2.2 mm "0.087 in and "1.0 mm "0.039 in or )

"1.3 mm "0.051 in fiber cables.

3Slide part A of the fiber cutter down to cut the fibers.

Notes: 1) The fiber cables should be cut in one stroke.

2)Once a fiber cable is cut off at a hole, do not use the hole again. If used, it degrades the cut surface quality and the detectability may deteriorate.

3)The blade cannot be replaced. Please purchase an additional fiber cutter, if required.

4)Note that the sensing range may be reduced by up to 20 % depending on the cut condition. Hence, decide the setting distance by taking sufficient margin.

Vacuum type fiber

Configuration

Leakage: 1.3310–10Pam3/sec. [He] or less

Mounting

1 Make two holes on the vac- uum tank wall (chamber wall or flange).

Note: The hole diameter must be from " 5.5 to " 6.0 mm " 0.217 to "0.236 in.

2Mount the FV-BR1photo-terminal on the vacuum tank wall.

Notes: 1) The attached O-ring must be mounted.

2)The O-ring must be used at the atmospheric side.

3)The tightening torque should be 0.58 Nm or less.

Seal type slit mask for FT-WA30/A30,FT-WA8/A8

•Two types of slit masks are enclosed. (one type for FT-A30and FT-WA30) Apply the enclosed slit mask when detecting small objects or as measures not to saturate the emitted light amount for short-range sensing.

However, the sensing range is reduced when the slit mask is mounted.

As the slit mask is seal type, stick it by aligning the projection of the slit mask with the upper portion of the fiber head, as shown in the figure below.

3Mount the FT-J6atmospheric side fibers on the atmospheric side of the FV-BR1photo-terminals.

Notes: 1) The fixing nuts must be tightened securely. If not, the sensing range may decrease.

2) The tightening torque should be 0.58 N m or less.

Slit masks Mounting

Sensing range when mounting slit mask [with FX-301(P)]

FT-WA30/A30: 2,500 mm 98.425 in (LONG) / 1,000 mm 39.370 in (STD) / 600 mm 23.622 in (FAST) / 200 mm 7.874 in (S-D)

FT-WA8/A8: 400 mm 15.748 in (LONG) / 200 mm 7.874 in (STD) / 140 mm 5.512 in (FAST) / 70 mm 2.756 in (S-D) (0.5 12 mm 0.0200.472 in slit mask)

FT-WA8/A8: 800 mm 31.496 in (LONG) / 400 mm 15.748 in (STD) / 280 mm 11.024 in (FAST) / 140 mm 5.512 in (S-D) (112 mm 0.0390.472 in slit mask)

4Mount the vacuum type fibers on the vacuum side of the FV-BR1photo-terminals.

Notes: 1) The fixings rings of the vacuum type fibers must be tightened securely. If not, the sensing range may decrease.

2) The tightening torque should be 0.58 N m or less.

5Fix the fiber head of the vacuum type fiber.

Note: The maximum tightening torque should be as given below.

	Tightening torque
M2.6	0.29 N m
M4	0.58 N m
