Autonics BF5R-D1-N Fiber Optic Sensor
Autonics BF5R-D1-N Fiber Optic Amplifier Sensor (Dual Display, NPN)
Autonics BF5R-D1-N is a high-resolution fiber optic amplifier sensor with dual display, ultra-fast 50 μs response, and NPN open-collector output, designed for precise detection of minute and high-speed objects in industrial automation.
The Autonics BF5R-D1-N is a dual-display fiber optic amplifier sensor engineered for ultra-precise and high-speed object detection. With a resolution of 1/10,000 and a response time as fast as 50 μs, it reliably detects minute targets and fast-moving objects in demanding industrial environments.
The amplifier supports multiple teaching modes, anti-saturation function, mutual interference prevention, and up to 31-unit cascading, making it ideal for complex automation systems.
