Retroreflective optical fibers from Panasonic are high-precision sensing components designed for use with fiber optic amplifiers. These fibers operate on the principle of retroreflection, where the emitted light is reflected back to the receiver by a built-in reflector or a separate reflector, allowing detection of objects that interrupt the light path. Key technical specifications include core diameters typically ranging from 0.25 mm to 1.5 mm, fiber lengths from 1 to 10 meters, and operating temperatures up to 70°C. They are available in various configurations such as coaxial or side-view types, with bending radii as low as 1 mm for tight installations. These fibers offer high immunity to electrical noise and are suitable for harsh industrial environments.
These optical fibers are widely used in automation and control systems for object detection, position sensing, and counting applications. Common sectors include packaging machinery, material handling, automotive assembly lines, and electronics manufacturing. They are ideal for detecting small or transparent objects, such as glass vials, plastic bottles, or metal components, in confined spaces where standard photoelectric sensors cannot fit. Installation environments range from clean rooms to dusty factory floors, with some models offering IP67 protection for washdown areas.
The main subcategories include coaxial retroreflective fibers, side-view retroreflective fibers, and high-flex fibers for moving parts. Key article codes follow the pattern FD-xxxx, such as FD-61, FD-62, and FD-63, where the suffix indicates fiber length and type. For example, FD-61 is a standard coaxial fiber with a 2-meter length, while FD-62 offers a 5-meter variant. These codes are structured to denote core material (plastic or glass), fiber diameter, and termination style, ensuring compatibility with Panasonic amplifiers like the FX-500 series.
