New amplifier, fiber optics pair up to detect parts and movement

FA1 amplifier/Fiber Optic Cables Carlo Gavazzi's FUT and FUR fiber optic cables can be used with its amplifier in a wide variety of applications. The cables plug into the amplifier and are mounted to a machine, where an LED is used to sense movement. Together, they can be used to detect small parts coming out of a machine. The reflectivity of the materials being detected determines which cable is needed.

What's new? The amplifier and cables, which debuted during the last few months.

Benefits Compact, intuitive, flexible design.
