Banner Engineering SE612FP Fiber Optic Sensor

SE612FP ECONO-BEAM Plastic Fiber Optic Sensor from Banner Engineering delivers compact, fiber-enabled presence sensing for tight, hard-to-reach spaces. This plastic-fiber model in the ECONO-BEAM family uses a visible red 650 nm beam and ships with a 2 m (6.5 ft) cable, operating on 10–30 V DC with bipolar outputs (one NPN, one PNP) for straightforward interfacing to standard control inputs. The sensing range varies by the chosen fiber and mode, with diffuse-mode performance specified against a 90% reflectance white test card. Built to work with plastic fibers, the SE612FP tolerates temperatures from –30 °C to +70 °C and withstands repeated fiber flexing, making it suitable for applications in conveyors, packaging lines, and other equipment where the sensing point must be positioned in tight or awkward spaces. Its fiber-optic interface provides immunity to electrical noise and vibration, enabling reliable detection in challenging manufacturing environments, while the available plastic fibers let designers tailor distance and target compatibility to their specific layout.
