Product Description

The Keyence FS-17 is a compact, cable-type fiber optic amplifier designed for precise object detection in industrial automation applications. It features a red LED light source and offers a response time of approximately 0.5 milliseconds. The amplifier provides dual output modes—Light-ON and Dark-ON—allowing flexibility in various sensing environments. Equipped with a 7-turn trimmer, the FS-17 enables fine sensitivity adjustments to accommodate different detection requirements. Its robust design ensures reliable performance in environments with ambient light levels up to 20,000 lux and operating temperatures ranging from -10°C to +55°C. The FS-17 is ideal for applications requiring precise object detection, such as in semiconductor manufacturing or packaging lines.​
