Sensor Fiber Optic Cables

Sensor fiber optic cables are light guides with a threaded end that carry the light produced by the fiber optic amplifier to the sensing point and bring the received light back to the amplifier. Thanks to their thin construction, they are preferred for placing the sensing end in cramped spots such as feeder outlets and assembly stations. The category includes Isıso branded fiber cables with M4 and M6 thread sizes in through-beam and diffuse reflective types. In the through-beam type the transmitter and receiver ends are placed on either side of the object, while in the diffuse reflective type the two fibers are at the same end and the light returning from the object is evaluated. Choose the fiber cable by sensing type, the M4 or M6 thread size that fits the mounting hole, the size of the object and compatibility with the amplifier it will connect to. These products are not data-carrying fiber optic communication cables; they work only together with a compatible fiber optic sensor amplifier.

How to choose Sensor Fiber Optic Cables

Sensor fiber optic cables are light guides with a threaded end that carry the light produced by the fiber optic amplifier to the sensing point and bring the received light back to the amplifier. Thanks to their thin construction, they are preferred for placing the sensing end in cramped spots such as feeder outlets and assembly stations.

  • 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.
