Banner Engineering 48016 PIPS66U Fiber Optic Sensor

Banner Engineering 48016 PIPS66U is a plastic fiber optic assembly designed for opposed-mode sensing with Banner's PIP series and other compatible fiber-optic sensing controls. The 1.5 mm core-diameter fiber is 2 meters long and features a side-view probe and a free-cut length, allowing precise routing and positioning in tight or awkward spaces. The PIPS66U assembly is used to deliver light from the sensor emitter to the target and return the reflected signal to the receiver in opposed-mode configurations, enabling detection of small features or gaps in applications such as packaging, electronics assembly, and automation where compact, non-contact sensing is required. This fiber optic assembly is listed under Banner's plastic fiber optic products as 48016, part of the PIPS66U family, and is commonly paired with Banner PC44-series fiber optic sensing controls or other Banner fiber-compatible modules. The combination supports rapid setup with a sideview probe orientation, making it suitable for side-illumination/detection tasks in constrained spaces. Core data indicates a 1.5 mm optical fiber with a 2 m length, which can be cut to length for installation, ensuring flexibility in design while maintaining the integrity of the light path and alignment in opposed-mode sensing.
