Fibre optics are protected from crushing & abrasion

To accommodate diverse applications, the heavy-duty Vantage Line plastic fibres are available in eight different models, four with opposed sensing mode and four with diffuse sensing mode, in one- and two-meter options. All heavy-duty fibres are compatible with Banner’s existing plastic fibre amplifiers, including the DF-G family.

Banner’s DF-G fibre amplifiers deliver stable sensing performance with fast response rates. With a thermally stable and high performance electronic design, DF-G fibre amplifiers feature dual display, digital readouts and an improved fibre clamp. DF-G fibre amplifiers also offer complete user control, providing manipulation of all operating parameters, including switch point threshold, light operate or dark operate, various output timing functions, electronic gain level and sensor response speed.

With a wide range of fibre amplifiers, Banner can effectively serve a diverse range of industries and applications, including small part or wire break detection on electronics assembly machines, pill and caplet counting and high-speed detection for registration mark or product leading edge detection.

“Our heavy-duty vantage line of plastic fibres offer enhanced durability and stable performance at a cost effective price,” said Dennis Smith, Senior Technical Marketing Manager, Banner Engineering. “With these heavy-duty models, our customers can use plastic fibres in rugged environments where they previously used more expensive glass fibres.”
