Autonics BF5R-D1-P Fiber Optic Sensor
Autonics BF5R-D1-P Fiber Optic Amplifier Sensor (Dual Display, PNP)
Autonics BF5R-D1-P is a dual-display fiber optic amplifier sensor with PNP open-collector output and ultra-fast response up to 50 μs, engineered for precise detection of minute objects in high-speed industrial automation.
The Autonics BF5R-D1-P is a dual-display fiber optic amplifier sensor designed for high-speed and high-precision detection when paired with compatible Autonics fiber optic units. With a resolution of 1/10,000 and a fastest response time of 50 μs, it reliably detects extremely small or fast-moving objects.
The PNP open-collector output makes this model suitable for automation systems and PLCs requiring sourcing-type outputs, while advanced teaching functions and cascading support enable easy integration into complex production lines.
