52 Special Applications Area Beam (Area Detection) Detection of falling workpieces • Area beams are optimum for detecting workpieces presented in inconsistent positions, such as falling workpieces, or for meander detection, or for detecting workpieces with holes. Meander detection • This Fiber Unit is ideal for meander detectin because it outputs the digital value in a linear relation to the interrupted light distance.

(The values are for a stationary sensing object.) The first value is for the E3X-ZV and the second value is for the E3NX-FA. Note 1.The sensing distances for the E3NX-FA are values for E3NX-FA@ devices. The distance for E3NX-FAH@ infrared models varies. 2.The E3X-HD Series offers the same sensing distance as the E3X-ZV.
