Banner Engineering is offering new steelskin plastic sensing fibres. Featuring field-proven durabend multicore construction, these fibres have extraordinary flexing capability and carry light through tight radius bends with no signal loss or fibre damage. The incorporation of braided 304 grade stainless steel over-jacket provides wear-resistant fibre protection as well as aesthetically pleasing high-tech looks.
Designed to endure the rigours of a harsh work environment, these fibres can withstand snagging, cutting, and abrasion far beyond standard plastic fibres. With a minimum bend radius of 10,0 mm and at just 2,9 mm O.D., Steelskin optical fibres are lighter and thinner than typical glass fibres. The narrow sheathing makes them well suited for low profile applications embedded in machinery or integrated into difficult-to-access locations.
The fibres are terminated with plastic ferrules for interfacing to Banner 'FP' style amplifiers and can be used with most fibre-optic photoelectric sensors, including the mini-beam, world-beam, DIN-rail mountable D10, D11 and D12 units, new miniature FI22, and others.
Steelskin optical-fibres have a continuous operating temperature from 0 to 70°C and are available in 1 and 2 m standard lengths available on request. A wide variety of sensing end tips are available in individual models (sold in pairs) or bifurcated models including; right-angle, threaded mount, probe and slot style.
Banner has a broad, readily-available line of sensing fibres, offering a comprehensive selection of standard fibres in all shapes and sizes. Custom fibres, for unique application, can be designed and built to the users' exact specifications quickly and easily.
