Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi AFET07SC Plastic Fibre Optic Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi AFET07SC is an Economy Line plastic fibre optic through-beam sensing accessory designed for reliable object detection in industrial machinery and automation systems. Using flexible 1 mm plastic optical fibre, it enables the sensing point to be positioned in confined or difficult-to-access locations where installing a conventional photoelectric sensor would be impractical.

The AFET07SC uses a through-beam sensing arrangement, in which transmitting and receiving fibre heads are positioned opposite one another. This arrangement provides dependable presence and object detection because a target is detected when it interrupts the transmitted light path.

Featuring a double pair of 8 mm sensing heads, the AFET07SC provides a practical fibre optic solution for machine builders requiring multiple compact sensing points. Its remote fibre-head design allows the associated photoelectric electronics to be positioned away from the detection area while the flexible fibres are routed to the required sensing locations.

Flexible Photoelectric Detection for Industrial Automation

Fibre optic photoelectric sensing separates the physical detection point from the main sensor electronics. Light is transmitted through flexible optical fibres to compact sensing heads, allowing objects to be detected in restricted, confined or difficult-to-access locations where a conventional photoelectric sensor body cannot easily be mounted.

The Carlo Gavazzi AFET07SC uses a through-beam arrangement with transmitting and receiving fibre heads positioned across the detection area. When an object interrupts the light path, the connected photoelectric sensing system detects the change. The double-pair head arrangement makes the AFET07SC particularly useful for machinery requiring compact and flexible sensing positions.

• Industrial machinery object detection.
• Presence and absence monitoring.
• Component detection in confined spaces.
• Packaging and production machinery.
