Banner Engineering’s long-range DF-G3 fibre amplifier is now available with analog output. With world-class long-range sensing capability, it can sense more than three metres with opposed mode fibres or more than one metre with diffuse mode fibres. The extra power, combined with its new analog output, enables the DF-G3 to provide increased detection reliability for contrast matching, intensity monitoring, web guiding, process monitoring of signal intensity and dense sensing point environments. With unmatched sensing power, convenient combination of both output types in one amplifier and an easy-to-use interface, the DF-G3 is ideal for difficult detection challenges in assembly error-proofing, consumer packaging and electronic assembly markets.
The DF-G3 offers a simple interface to ensure easy setup and programming via displays and switches. The easy-to-read dual digital displays show both signal level and threshold simultaneously. Users can also set up the sensor remotely via a multifunction input wire which can be configured to control the LED, gate the amplifier’s output, remote teach the amplifier, or set up a robust cross-talk avoidance ring with up to seven amplifiers to solve dense sensing point applications.
The expert Teach and Set functions ensure optimal gain and threshold for all applications, but especially for low contrast applications at long detection range. Users also have full control over all operating parameters, including threshold, light or dark operate, output timing functions, gain level and response speed.
Featuring energy-efficient light resistance and cross-talk avoidance, the DF-G3 provides stable detection in industrial lighting environments and dense sensing point applications. The sensor’s level action fibre clamp ensures stable, reliable and trouble-free fibre clamping.
