E32 Area monitoring Lightcurtains and area sensors
Area monitoring fiber sensor heads
When mounting space is crucial or the objects are very small, the area monitoring
fibers provide a reliable object detection even when the object position varies within
the monitored range.
In combination with the window monitoring function or the serial transmission of
the received light level values of the fiber amplifiers, simple height comparison or
measuring applications can be realized.
• Area monitoring up to 70 mm height
• Multi-beam sensor with 4 separate heads for flexible detection points
• Standard or high flex fibers

In combination with the twin output function of the E3NX-FA amplifier, the diffuse reflective
area monitoring fibers can detect very small objects (e.g. needles) and a second state (e.g
cover present). The area beam compensates for position variations at high speed.
