Banner Engineering Fiber Optic Sensor Solutions
Banner Engineering Fiber Optic Sensor Solutions are versatile sensors ideal for use in space-constrained and harsh environments. These sensors can also handle a lack of power at the sensing location. The amplifier, or sensor, emits, receives, and converts light energy into an electrical signal. Individual fiber-optic assemblies guide light from the amplifier to a sensing location or from the sensing location back to the amplifier. The small size and flexibility of fiber optics allow these Banner sensor solutions to be positioned and mounted in tight spaces. The fibers can be designed to withstand high moisture or corrosive materials and are immune to electrical noise.
