SICK Plastic, Glass Fibre Optic Sensor

This Fibre optic sensor is designed for detection tasks in industrial automation and electronic systems, using optical Fibres to transmit and receive light signals for remote sensing in confined or hazardous zones. It incorporates a red LED light source and is supplied with an attached cable for straightforward electrical connection, operating reliably across a wide temperature span suitable for varied plant environments.

• Red LED emitter enables clear optical signalling and simple alignment
• Accepts plastic and glass Fibre types for flexible installation
• Copper zinc alloy housing provides Durable mechanical protection
• Cable termination with 2m length simplifies routing to control equipment
• Operates from -40°C to 70°C for broad environmental compatibility

• Suitable for presence detection in automated assembly lines
• Ideal for confined-space sensing where remote optics are required
• Used with inspection stations requiring visible-light feedback
• Can be used for object detection in electrical cabinet assemblies

It uses a red LED which offers a well-defined emission Peak for straightforward alignment with plastic or glass fibres and stable optical performance under normal operating temperatures.

The unit is fitted with a cable termination and includes a 2m lead to connect directly to control inputs or intermediate wiring looms without additional adaptors.

The enclosure is formed from a copper zinc alloy, providing robust mechanical resistance suited to industrial handling and mounting scenarios.

It functions across an operating temperature window from -40°C up to 70°C, enabling use in both cold storage and heated process areas.

Yes, it supports the use of both plastic and glass optical fibres to match application demands for flexibility or higher transmission performance.
