FD/FT/GD/GT Series

Top/Side/Flat/Top-Side View Modes for Various Sensing Directions
Autonics is expanding their line-up of fiber optic sensor cables, with the new Perpendicular Type Fiber Optic Cables – FDR/FTR Series. Built with a flat rear surface and 90º deflection angle, the FDR/FTR Series minimizes installation-space limitations and allows for quick direct installation onto machinery with a single nut. Additionally, by adopting high-flex (R1) type cables, the units can be installed on various surfaces while reducing worries about cable damage or connection errors. The cables are available in two types of sensing methods (through-beam and reflective) to provide flexibility for installation.
