The Keyence FU-35TZ uses a coaxial reflective fiber arrangement, placing the transmitting and receiving optical paths in a compact sensor head for object detection with a compatible fiber optic amplifier.
The M3 threaded configuration allows installation in suitable mounting fixtures and compact machine assemblies where space around the detection point is limited.
The factory-specified 1 m fiber length can be cut to suit appropriate installation requirements, allowing the optical path between the sensing head and the connected amplifier to be adjusted.
The fiber unit features a minimum bending radius of 2 mm, supporting tight cable routing in compact machinery when the manufacturer's installation limits are respected.
Keyence reports a minimum detectable gold wire diameter of 0.005 mm under optimized sensitivity and detection-distance conditions. Actual capability depends on the amplifier, target and application setup.
The FU-35TZ fiber unit is rated for ambient temperatures from -40 to +50°C and weighs approximately 7 g, supporting suitable industrial sensing installations within these limits.

What is the Keyence FU-35TZ?
It is a Keyence FU series reflective fiber optic sensing unit featuring a coaxial optical arrangement, M3 threaded head and 1 m free-cut fiber.
Is FU-35TZ a complete photoelectric sensor with an amplifier?
No. The FU-35TZ is a passive fiber optic sensing unit. An appropriate separate fiber amplifier is needed to provide light emission, signal processing and an electrical switching output.
What is the sensing method?
The unit uses coaxial reflective sensing, with transmitted light and reflected light carried through separate fiber paths within the same assembly.
What is the sensor head mounting size?
The sensor head uses an M3 threaded design. Check the Keyence dimensional drawing for the complete mounting arrangement.
How long is the fiber cable?
The specified fiber unit length is 1 m (39.37 inches), with free-cut construction for suitable installation adjustment.
What is the minimum bending radius?
Keyence specifies an R2 mm minimum bend radius for the Tough-Flex fiber unit.
What is the fiber diameter?
The manufacturer lists two fiber elements, each with a nominal diameter of 1.3 mm.
What is the minimum detectable object size?
Keyence lists a gold wire measuring 0.005 mm in diameter as the minimum detectable object when sensing distance and amplifier sensitivity are optimally configured. This is not a guaranteed result for every target or installation.
What is the maximum detection distance?
The detection distance depends on the specific fiber amplifier, sensitivity settings and target characteristics. Consult the appropriate Keyence amplifier catalog rather than assuming a single fixed distance.
Which fiber amplifiers can be used?
Keyence lists FU-35TZ in several fiber optic amplifier product families, including FS-N40 and earlier FS series. Verify the chosen amplifier model, fiber connection and required detection performance.
What is the ambient operating temperature?
The fiber unit is specified for -40 to +50°C (-40 to +122°F).
What should be checked before ordering?
Confirm the exact model FU-35TZ, M3 threaded head, coaxial reflective configuration, 1 m free-cut fiber, R2 mm minimum bend radius, compatible Keyence amplifier, required detection distance, mounting dimensions and operating environment.
