afgt04 – fibre gl acc 1mm tb
Carlo Gavazzi AFGT04 is a 90-degree fibre-optic lens accessory for compatible 1 mm glass fibre through-beam photoelectric sensing systems with a specified sensing range of 800 mm.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi AFGT04 Fibre Optic Lens?
The Carlo Gavazzi AFGT04 is a 90° fibre-optic lens accessory designed for compatible 1 mm glass fibre photoelectric sensing systems. Intended for through-beam fibre-optic applications, it provides a convenient right-angle optical interface where machinery layout or restricted installation space makes a straight optical path difficult to accommodate.
The AFGT04 forms part of Carlo Gavazzi's range of fibre-optic sensor accessories and is designed to work with compatible fibre-optic photoelectric equipment. Its 90° optical configuration allows the sensing direction to be redirected at the fibre termination, helping machine builders position sensing points efficiently within compact automated equipment.
With a specified 800 mm sensing range for its intended fibre-optic arrangement, the AFGT04 is suitable for through-beam object detection where a separate transmitting and receiving optical path is used. The accessory is particularly useful for industrial automation, packaging machinery and production equipment requiring flexible sensor positioning.

Right-Angle Fibre-Optic Detection for Industrial Machinery
Fibre-optic photoelectric sensing allows the optical detection point to be positioned separately from the associated sensor electronics. Through-beam systems use transmitting and receiving optical paths, with a target detected when it interrupts the light travelling between them.
The AFGT04's 90° lens arrangement redirects the optical path at the sensing point, making it particularly useful when machine geometry does not permit straight-ahead sensing. Combined with compatible glass fibre and photoelectric equipment, it provides machine builders and automation engineers with greater flexibility when integrating optical detection into compact industrial systems.
