Banner Engineering: Dual Display Fiber Optic Amplifier

Its expert Teach and Set methods allow users to modify response time, signal level and sensitivity. The amplifier is designed for use on machines performing part detection in packaging; electronic assembly; pill, caplet and syringe counting for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers; and high speed edge detection for web processes and material handling. It assures accurate low contrast detection of small objects and supports machines with high sensing point density, where the fiber allows accurate detection in confined locations. Sensing output is compatible for interfacing with all standard PLCs, HMIs and other machine control systems. A crosstalk avoidance algorithm allows multiple sensors to operate in close proximity.
