Expanded range of fiber optic sensors

The KFX plastic fiber optic cables are new in the fiber optic sensor product line from Leuze electronic. Available in 27 different models, they are equipped with a high-quality bending protection on the optical outlet side, which effectively prevents damage on the otherwise critical transition points. Another new addition is the KF fiber optic standard segment with all important special head shapes for every application.

In the amplifier sector, Leuze electronic is offering the new LV461 and LV462 fiber optic amplifiers. The LV461 is equipped with a potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment, a switch for light/dark switching as well as a changeover between a shorter response time or a wider range. The switching threshold is displayed digitally for the LV462, and can be adjusted comfortably either with the AutoSet function or manually with the +/- buttons. Various ranges and sensitivities as well as time functions such as pickup and dropout delays and wiping contacts can be set easily via menu selection.

The LV463 fiber optic amplifier will be added to the product range in the third quarter. This device shows the signal and the switching threshold simultaneously on a double display. Extensive setting options and the optional IO-Link interface make this amplifier extremely high-performance and particularly attractive.
