Banner PLI-A10 - Manual

PLI-A10 Adjustable Beam Spot Plastic Fiber Optic Assembly
Integrated convergent lens, M6 threaded housing, unterminated
Printed in USA 03/02 P/N 109026
Features
• Bifurcated coaxial ø0.5 mm/9x 0.25 mm fibers
• Integrated lens converges emitted light at a variable distance from the compact
fiber head
• Beam spot diameter varies according to fiber ferrule insertion depth
• Spot diameter is adjustable from ø0.5 mm (0.04") to ø3.2 mm (0.14")
• Metal hex nuts (M6 x 0.75) and lock washer included
• Cut-to-length fiber optic cable
• A normal plastic fiber optic has a “beam diffusion” angle of about 60°, making it
difficult (if not impossible) to sense very small targets. A convergent lens allows
focusing of the beam to a small spot, enabling detection of minute targets at
relatively long distances.
