The Panasonic FXLE1 is a lens expansion for thru-beam fiber-optic sensor used in a variety of industrial settings. The expansion lens is designed to focus a beam of light from a single point down to a small sensor. It increases the sensing range of up to 5 meters and reduces a blind spot so that the sensor can detect even small objects at a greater distance. The lens is constructed of PMMA lens materials and is RoHS compliant. The lens is lightweight and small in size, making it ideal for tight spaces and objects. It is easy to install and use and is robust enough to handle even the harshest industrial conditions. With the lens, the thru-beams fiber-optic sensor can detect objects further away with greater accuracy.
