Wenglor - UF66VCF3 - Fiber-Optic Amplifier, 10–30 V DC, PNP Output, 1000mm Range
The Wenglor UF66VCF3 is a high-performance fiber-optic amplifier designed for precise detection tasks in industrial automation. It is adaptable for use with glass fiber-optic cables but can also operate without them, making it versatile for various applications. The sensor evaluates transmitted light reflected back from objects, switching the output when an object passes within the selected range. Bright objects reflect more light than dark ones, allowing for detection at greater distances.
