Fibre Optic Sensors

Fibre optic sensors are used in the space constrained areas as well in high temperature applications. There are two parts for a fibre optic sensor, one is the optical fibre cable and the other one is the amplifier. Autonics fibre optic sensors, BF3RX series, can be mounted on DIN rail. These are rotary potentiometer type sensors. All the fibre optic sensors are available with Light On/Dark On facility to cater for the logical requirement of the controller, which it is connected. A variety of fibre optic cables are available for catering the requirements of various applications. They are plastic type for low temperature applications, glass type for high temperature applications. Apart from these different shapes of optical fibre cables are available for different applications. Minimum detectable object size is 0.03 mm. Free cut type cable and impact proof fibre with stainless steel armoring are available. Ttypical applications: to detect the form of target and reject the odd one; to detect the leads of electronics components; to detect the thread of screw, to detect the direction of movement of IC, to detect the tip of the life saving medicine bottle sprayers, to count the number of legs of an IC to reject the broken IC, in the areas of high temperature of up to 250°C (where normal sensor cannot be used), inside special purpose machine to detect the presence/absence of objects where an ordinary sensor cannot be mounted due to space constraints. BF4 series fiber optic sensors are CE approved.
