Fiber Optic Sensors and Accessories

Fiber optic sensors are two-part optical sensors made of an amplifier that generates and evaluates light and a fiber optic cable that carries this light to the sensing point. Because there is no electronics at the sensing end, they are used for counting small parts, in tight machine spaces and at mounting points where a standard photoelectric sensor does not fit. This category includes Isıso branded potentiometer-adjustable and digital fiber optic amplifiers, and M4 and M6 threaded through-beam or diffuse reflective fiber cables. Choose the amplifier by its NPN or PNP output type and adjustment style, and the fiber cable by its sensing type, end thread size and mounting location. Since the amplifier and cable work together, verify their compatibility and the sensing distance that can be reached from the manufacturer's data.

How to choose Fiber Optic Sensors and Accessories

Fiber optic sensors are two-part optical sensors made of an amplifier that generates and evaluates light and a fiber optic cable that carries this light to the sensing point. Because there is no electronics at the sensing end, they are used for counting small parts, in tight machine spaces and at mounting points where a standard photoelectric sensor does not fit.

  • Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
  • Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
  • Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
