Fiber Optic Sensors
Fiber amplifiers, fiber heads and matrix fibers for tight spaces and tiny targets.
Pair the Fibre Head with Its Amplifier and Mounting Task
A fibre-optic sensing package may require a separate amplifier and optical head. Compare the task, available mounting space, fibre routing and receiving controller as one assembly. A fibre head alone is not a complete electrical sensor, and a head/amplifier combination must be confirmed before ordering.
Compare 3 Fiber Optic Sensors Series
Fiber Amplifier (Digital Fiber Optic Sensor Amplifier)
Digital fiber optic amplifiers with NPN/PNP output, from potentiometer economy models to 25µs dual-display smart units.
Fiber Optic Sensor Heads (Fiber Units)
Passive M3-M6 fiber optic heads: through-beam, diffuse, coaxial and array types for spots standard sensors can't reach.
Matrix (Array) Fiber Optic Heads
Array fiber optic heads covering a detection zone instead of a single spot - through-beam and diffuse reflective types.
Compare the Configuration Paths
| Required task | Existing product page | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical evaluation and teaching | Digital fibre amplifier options | Confirm supported heads, output type and required adjustment or teaching controls. |
| Optical mounting at the target | Fibre-optic head configurations | Choose sensing arrangement, tip geometry, fibre length and routing limits. |
| Array-type optical arrangement | Matrix fibre heads | Verify the actual target and compatible amplifier rather than treating an array as a safety curtain. |
A Complete Fibre-Sensor Bill of Materials
| Purchase input | Information to provide |
|---|---|
| Head and amplifier | Record both order codes and the manufacturer-confirmed compatible pairing. |
| Fibre routing | Include installed length, bend space, protection and service-access requirements. |
| Target sample | Define the smallest feature, target surface, speed and required control signal. |
Compare slot sensors if an integrated U-shaped body fits, or miniature photoelectric sensors for a self-contained electrical package.
