Thrubeam fiber unit places the emitter and receiver on opposite sides for reliable detection of objects that interrupt the beam.
Narrow optical axis diameter supports detection of small objects passing between the fiber tips.
Published minimum detectable object is ø0.005 mm, enabling fine wire and small-part detection.
Fiber length of 1 m can be cut to the required installation length for flexible routing.
Minimum bend radius of R4 mm supports routing in compact machinery and moving applications.
Rated for ambient temperatures from -40°C to +70°C.
