The FIA-C-08-3pol is a compact fork light barrier sensor with integrated electronics and a high switching frequency of 1 kHz, designed for precise object detection in industrial environments. It uses a 905 nm infrared LED and offers reliable detection of small parts down to 0.3 mm with high reproducibility of approximately 0.05 mm. The sensor is housed in a rugged, anodized aluminum body rated IP67, with oil-resistant PUR cabling, making it suitable for harsh or oily environments. Common applications include detection and counting of small components in automation, packaging, electronics manufacturing, and parts feeding systems. With multiple fork sizes, aperture options, and both NPN and PNP switching configurations available, the FIA-C-08 series offers flexible integration into a variety of machine designs.
