In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, you need sensors that are not only powerful but also intuitive and ready for the future. Rajdeep Automation is proud to present the

FASTUS D4RF Series from OPTEX FA—a new generation of ultra-high-speed, easy-to-use fiber-optic sensors designed to meet the demands of modern smart factories.

Unparalleled Usability and Readability

The D4RF series is engineered from the ground up to enhance operator efficiency and minimize setup time.

• Crystal-Clear OLED Display: A highly visible OLED display presents clear, detailed detection values and status updates. This is a significant upgrade from conventional 7-segment displays, with full menu support in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese.
• At-a-Glance Status Check: Large, three-dimensional LED indicators provide superb visibility of the sensor’s status, even from a distance.
• Simplified Setup: Fiber insertion indicators confirm that cables are correctly seated, eliminating guesswork during installation.
• Ergonomic Design: The sensor features a protective cover that opens a full 180∘, ensuring it never obstructs the view of the display or access to the large, easy-to-press buttons.

High-Performance Detection for Any Application

Beyond its user-friendly interface, the D4RF series delivers robust performance for the most demanding tasks.

• Ultra-Fast Response Time: With a response time as fast as 16 μs, the D4RF series can detect over 30,000 objects per second, making it ideal for high-speed production lines.
• Enhanced Long-Distance Sensing: High-power LEDs and a high-efficiency lens design have increased the sensing distance by up to 1.5 times compared to previous models. This ensures stable, reliable detection that is resistant to dust and contamination.
• Precise and Stable Tuning:
  • The Hold Display function captures and holds peak and bottom light values, making it easy to set an accurate threshold with a proper operating margin.
  • The Stretch Display Mode can digitally multiply received light values by 10 or 50 times, making minute fluctuations in light intensity easy to monitor.

Specialized Models for Targeted Solutions

The D4RF platform includes specialized models to tackle unique industrial challenges.

• Short-Range, High-Accuracy Type (D4RF-Y): Perfectly suited for clean environments where detecting minute objects or slight changes in light intensity is critical, such as in electronics component manufacturing.
• Analog Output Type (D4RF-TA): Offers selectable current (4 to 20 mA) or voltage (0 to 10 V, 1 to 5 V) outputs. This is ideal for applications like film meandering detection, where the sensor provides continuous feedback on edge position.
• Infrared Light Source Type (D4IF): This model uses an infrared LED with a 1,450 nm wavelength that is readily absorbed by water. This unique capability allows it to:
  • Detect the presence of chemicals or adhesives in containers.
  • Identify the overlap of silicon solar panels or transparent films.

Smart Factory Ready with IO-Link and Easy Integration

The D4RF series is built for Industry 4.0, offering advanced communication and simplified system integration.

• IO-Link Compatibility: IO-Link connectivity allows for the monitoring of process data like received light levels and the configuration of device parameters remotely. Access critical maintenance information such as internal temperature and operating time to enable predictive maintenance.
• Effortless Expansion: Connect up to 16 fiber-optic sensors and use the “batch setting” feature to copy parameters like “Copy to all” or “All teach” from the main unit to all expansion units simultaneously.
• Flexible Communication: In addition to IO-Link, dedicated communication units enable seamless integration with EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT networks, ensuring the D4RF fits directly into your existing control architecture.
