Fiber Optic Sensors - SICK

Fiber optic sensors use flexible fiber cables to carry light to and from a remote amplifier. The tiny sensing heads fit into tight spaces, detect very small parts and tolerate high heat or electrical noise.

Fiber Optic Sensor Components

• Fiber amplifiers – adjustable sensitivity and digital displays
• Through-beam fibers – longest range and smallest object detection
• Diffuse fibers – single-sided detection in tight spaces
• High-temperature and flexible fibers – harsh conditions and moving parts
• Lenses and accessories – extend range and focus spots

Choosing Components

Select fiber type and head size for the target and available space, then pair it with an amplifier that offers the response speed and outputs you need. Avoid tight bends in the fiber to keep signal strength.
