Bond Wire Break Detection with a Fiber Optic Pair

Counting Small Parts with a Fiber Optic Array

Metal Wisker Detection on Beverage Cans

Overview

  • AC-coupled fiber optic sensor for low-contrast application
  • 5-turn potentiometer for manual adjustment of sensitivity
  • 10 to 30V dc supply voltage with bipolar NPN or PNP outputs
  • Light-operate or dark-operate selectable
  • Fast 50 microsecond response
  • Automatic Gain Control (AGC) for continual gain control
  • Available in glass and plastic fiber optic models

Product Specifications

Supply Voltage and Current10 to 30V dc @ 60 mA max. (exclusive of load)
RangeRange varies by sensing mode and fiber optics used
Supply Protection CircuitryProtected against reverse polarity and transient voltage
