Fibre optic controller
09 July 2022
FOR RELIABLE position control and presence detection in a wide range of industrial automation and process control applications, Micro-Epsilon has introduced an optoelectronic fibre optic sensor solution.
The new optoCONTROL CLS1000 optoelectronic system consists of a controller and a sensor (sensor head and glass fibre optic cable). A wide variety of fibre optic sensor heads and cables are available. Fibre optics are offered in different form factors and with focusing lens options, which means the optoCONTROL CLS1000 system can be adapted to operate in a wide variety of demanding applications and environments.
The optoCONTROL CLS1000 controller comprises a compact transmitter and receiver unit with integrated signal evaluation. The infrared light is transmitted to the object and back via a high quality glass fibre optic cable that works on the principle of total reflection. The received light intensity is used for evaluation.
