Balluff BFO48G-TAN-SD-1 Fiber Optic Sensor Head

Balluff BFO48G-TAN-SD-1 Fiber Optic Sensor Head is the sensing head component of Balluff's BFO 48G fiber optic family, designed to connect with compatible base units and fiber-optic links to enable remote optical sensing in automation environments. It detects presence or changes along a fiber path by transmitting light through a connected fiber to a sensing region and returning the signal to the controller via the same or a paired receiver, allowing sensing at a distance and in environments where electronic components cannot be placed directly. As part of Balluff's BFO fiber optic family, the 48G series offers multiple head geometries and emission options, including straight or angled light delivery and bendable optic heads, enabling installation in tight spaces and varied mounting configurations. Balluff fiber-optic solutions are designed to work with glass fiber cables and integrate with base electronics to perform essential sensing tasks on manufacturing lines and in packaging or material-handling applications. The BFO48G-TAN-SD-1 designation identifies the specific head within the family and reflects Balluff's standard approach to modular, fiber-based sensing heads.
