Convergent-Beam Fiber Optics Detect Objects As Small As 0.2 mm

Mounted in an ultra-compact head assembly that positions them to mechanically converge emitted light 3 mm in front of the assembly, P22-C1 and P12-C1 Convergent-Beam Fibers are unaffected by varying target color or reflectivity. This helps open up uses for the optical systems in applications such as small packaging machines, limited space printing, and microlectronic manufacturing operations, including silicon wafter sensing, wafer cassette presence detection, near-field product detection, and pc board detection.
