Takex FT505 Fiber Optic Photoelectric Sensor

Takex FT505 Fiber Optic Photoelectric Sensor is a fiber‑optic photoelectric sensing system that uses a detachable fiber optic cable to locate the emitter/receiver away from the main unit, enabling sensing in tight spaces or areas where wiring is impractical. The model is documented by distributors as a discontinued TAKEX product, indicating it is no longer manufactured by the original maker. As with Takex fiber optic sensors, the FT505 is part of a modular family designed to pair a fiber optic cable with a sensing head to detect presence or edge features where direct mounting is difficult, with the ability to place sensing points in hazardous or cramped environments. Fiber optic sensors from Takex are marketed for applications across automated manufacturing, packaging, and material handling, offering flexible installation through remote fiber cabling that minimizes wiring complexity and allows sensing around corners or inside fixtures. Because the FT505 is listed as discontinued by the manufacturer, sourcing new units may be limited to third-party inventories.
