What is a Fiber Optic Sensor? Fiber optic cables are divided into two categories: through-beam
and reflective. The through-beam is comprised of an emitter and a
A fiber optic sensor is a two component sensor that uses a fiber optic receiver in two separate cables and the object will pass through the
cable as a means of relaying the light signals from a remote sensing beam. The reflective comes in a single unit with the emitter and
location to the amplifier (electronics) that processes the signal. receiver in a single cable and the light is reflected off the object
The amplifiers are DIN rail mountable and can be installed in an area back to the receiver.
away from moving equipment or in an electrical enclosure, allowing Through-beam
for remote sensitivity adjustments.
The fiber optic cable allows detection of very small objects or parts
verification in hard to reach areas with precise positioning of the
sensing head, where photoelectric sensors would be inaccessible.
Reflective
Advantages are the ability to withstand higher temperatures, shock
and vibration resistance, wet or corrosive locations and since the fiber
optic cables only transfer light, they are unaffected by electrical noise.
