Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi AFET02SC Fibre Optic Sensor Cable?

The Carlo Gavazzi AFET02SC is a 1 mm plastic fibre optic sensor accessory designed for photoelectric sensing applications where the optical sensing point needs to be positioned remotely from the associated amplifier. Its compact construction makes it particularly useful for object detection in machinery where fitting a conventional photoelectric sensor directly at the detection point is impractical.

The AFET02SC uses a through-beam optical arrangement, with separate transmitting and receiving fibre paths positioned across the detection area. The plastic optical fibre has a 1 mm diameter, providing a compact sensing solution suitable for detecting components and objects in confined industrial automation applications.

With an approximate fibre length of 800 mm, the AFET02SC provides greater installation reach than shorter AFET-series variants while retaining a compact remote sensing arrangement. As a passive fibre-optic accessory, it requires no electrical supply at the sensing point and is intended for integration with compatible Carlo Gavazzi fibre-optic photoelectric sensing equipment.

Key Advantages

• 1 mm plastic optical fibre provides compact routing and sensing.
• Through-beam configuration supports dependable object presence detection.
• Approximately 800 mm fibre length provides flexible positioning of the sensing point.
• Remote fibre sensing allows the associated electronics to be located away from confined detection areas.
• Passive optical construction requires no electrical power at the fibre sensing point.
• No mechanical sensing movement helps minimise wear during repetitive operation.
• Suitable for detecting small components in industrial machinery and automated equipment.
• Designed as part of the Carlo Gavazzi AFET fibre-optic sensing range.

Reliable Remote Fibre-Optic Object Detection

The Carlo Gavazzi AFET02SC transmits light through plastic optical fibres between compatible photoelectric sensing electronics and the remote detection point. In its through-beam configuration, the transmitting and receiving fibre ends are positioned opposite one another so that an object entering the detection area interrupts the optical path and can be identified by the connected sensing electronics.

Separating the optical detection point from the electronic amplifier provides valuable installation flexibility. The 1 mm plastic fibre and approximately 800 mm length allow the sensing point to be routed into confined machine areas while the associated electronics remain in a more accessible location, making the AFET02SC suitable for compact machinery and component detection applications.

• Compact automated machinery.
• Assembly machine sensing.
• Packaging equipment.
• Parts counting and detection.
• Production line monitoring.
• Position detection in confined spaces.
• Material handling equipment.
