Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi AFGD08 Fibre Optic Accessory?

The Carlo Gavazzi AFGD08 is a glass fibre optic accessory for 1 mm diffuse-reflective fibre systems. Designed for Carlo Gavazzi photoelectric sensing equipment, it provides an optical interface at the remote sensing point while allowing the associated sensor electronics to remain away from the target area.

The AFGD08 is intended for diffuse-reflective (DR) fibre-optic sensing, where emitted light is directed towards an object and reflected light is returned for evaluation by the connected photoelectric sensor. This single-sided detection principle is useful where positioning separate transmitter and receiver heads on opposite sides of the target is impractical.

With a compact format associated with 1 mm glass fibre systems, the AFGD08 is suited to precision object detection in confined industrial machinery. As a passive optical accessory, it requires no independent electrical supply and forms part of a compatible fibre-optic photoelectric sensing system.

Key Advantages

• Designed for 1 mm glass fibre-optic sensing systems.
• Diffuse-reflective configuration enables detection from one side of the target.
• Compact optical accessory for restricted machine spaces.
• Allows sensing electronics to be positioned remotely from the detection point.
• Passive construction requires no separate electrical supply at the accessory.
• Supports non-contact object detection without mechanical sensing wear.
• Suitable for precision presence and position detection in automated equipment.
• Designed for integration with compatible Carlo Gavazzi fibre-optic photoelectric equipment.

Reliable Diffuse-Reflective Fibre-Optic Detection

When incorporated into a compatible fibre-optic photoelectric system, the Carlo Gavazzi AFGD08 supports diffuse-reflective object detection. Light is transmitted towards the target through the fibre system, and light reflected by the target is returned to the associated sensing electronics, where the change in received optical intensity is evaluated.

This sensing principle allows both emission and reception to take place from the same side of the target, eliminating the need to position a separate receiver opposite the object. The AFGD08 therefore provides a practical optical accessory for compact machinery, component detection and other installations where access around the target is restricted.
