iQss gets sensor monitoring and parameter configuration simply while also minimizing wiring and conserving space at the production site.


Remote monitoring and operation
When a device operating abnormality is found, it is possible to remotely confirm the receiving light level and settings of the sensors over the network.
This allows conditions to be confirmed quickly without entering the worksite.

Space-saving design with reduced wiring
Only 2 cables, including a power supply cable and CC-Link cable, are needed, enabling time spent on wiring to be shortened. Space-saving is possible as the need for multiple sensor cables is eliminated.


Calculation functions
Up to two CD22 series devices can be connected to the CDA series.
High-speed calculation of thickness and height differences can be performed with one amplifier unit.

CC-Link communication
By connecting a CDA series to a UC1 series communication unit, connection to a CC-Link network is possible.
Use as either a CC-Link gate or as an external controller with superior operability.

Ideal for robot mounting
CD22 series models feature a smallest-in-class lightweight body, and because of their built-in amplifier, there are few limitations on installation space and wiring,
meaning the sensors can be mounted on robots or on moving parts.

High accuracy
With the CD22 series, the causes of all measurement errors can be eliminated even in the case of workpieces in which highly accurate measurements were difficult thanks to Tri-CORE optimization technology that corrects receiving light waveforms by way of digital sub-pixel processing, a high-resolution electric shutter, and a unique algorithm.


Fastest high-speed response in the world
Optex FA's originally developed super high-speed processor enables the fastest speed in its class at 22 μs (1-HS mode).
Detection of over 22,000 workpieces per second is possible.

Next-generation specifications for sensing distance
In addition to the inclusion of a new processor, the synergistic effects of the high power LEDs and high efficiency condensing lens have resulted in sensing distance increases of up to 3× compared with conventional diffuse-type products, and up to 5× compared with conventional through-beam type products.
Fiber used: NF-DH01 (Diffuse type/heat resistant 180°C)


Great selection of models
More than 200 models of Fiber-Optic Cables with options such as lenses are available to meet a wide variety of application needs.

Ladder-free connections between PLCs and displacement sensors ensure simple startup without the need to build complicated programs in advance.


Easy connection!
Simply click the UQ1 series into the base unit's I/O slot with no need to configure unit settings or sensor communication settings.

No need for programs or ladders
The UQ1 series automatically acquires, calculates, judges, and outputs measurement values.
Absolutely no programs are needed on the PLC side.


Highest-in-class measurement accuracy
The CD5 series offers best-in-class linearity for white ceramics with a sufficient margin of ±0.05% F.S.* (catalog specifications).
A smooth linearity curve is possible even with difficult-to-stabilize targets such as SUS and black rubber.



Built-in amplifier developed by original built-in technology
An amplifier and all control functions are integrated into the sensor head. This eliminates the need to secure installation space in the control panel.
Moreover, the lightweight design has resulted in a product weight of only about 65 g.
High-accuracy control output
With hysteresis of only 0.15% F.S., the CD33 series offers 10 to 30 times higher accuracy than distance setting sensors (per Optex FA comparison), enabling detection of height differences of as little as 12 μm*.
Of course, the device can also be configured for comparator output.
