Allen-Bradley F-A-12RT Fiber Optic Light Guide

Description:

The TRI-TRONICS F-A-12RT Fiber Optic Light Guide is used in industrial photoelectric sensing systems to transmit light between a remote photoelectric sensor and the sensing point for accurate object detection. Commonly installed on packaging machinery, conveyor systems, electronics assembly equipment, pharmaceutical machinery, and automated production lines where reliable beam-break sensing is required. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this fiber optic light guide for sensor replacement, machine repairs, automation upgrades, and preventive maintenance.

Applications:

The TRI-TRONICS F-A-12RT Fiber Optic Light Guide is commonly used with TRI-TRONICS SMARTEYE photoelectric sensors in packaging equipment, bottling lines, food processing systems, material handling equipment, and electronics manufacturing. Its straight glass fiber construction, threaded brass tip with a right-angle sensing head, stainless steel armored jacket, and 12-inch cable provide dependable light transmission while allowing installation in confined industrial environments.
