Fibre optics
and amplifiers
Precise connection
of different fibre optics.
Easy mounting on
DIN rail possible.
Introduction
Fully automatic manufacturing machines become more and more compact. Fibre
optics are used where mounting space for photoelectric standard sensors is confined.
Advantages of these systems: The evaluation electronics and the optoelectronic com-
ponents are located separately from the sensing surface of the system. Fibre optic
sensing heads can therefore be mounted in places where access is difficult. Fibre
optics are the best choice, in particular for short ranges.
Versions of fibre optic systems
Through-beam principle
Transmitting and receiving fibre optics are laid separately. The two ends (fibre optic
heads) are mounted opposite each other. The light beam interruption is evaluated
according to the through-beam principle. The maximum range is 380 cm.
Diffuse reflection principle
Transmitting and receiving fibres are in one sheath. The sensing head incorporates Minute objects up to
receiving and transmitting fibre bundles. The ranges of the ifm sensors are max. 300 0.5 mm are detected
mm. safely.
