Fiber Optic Cable Extensions for
Pantron Photo Eyes

Manufacturer: Pantron Instruments, GmbH
Category: Accessories

The fiber optic cables are to be used for the detection of objects in machines or production systems. They will be screwed onto the sensors with a M12x1 thread (sensors not included in delivery) using the corresponding nut. They are useful in applications with limited space or with high ambient temperatures.
