Banner Engineering OSBFX-01 Fiber Optic Sensor

OSBFX-01 is Banner Engineering's OMNI-BEAM high-power glass-fiber optic sensor head, designed to be used with a compatible power block and logic module to form a complete sensing system. It uses infrared 880 nm light, and range varies with the fiber used and the connected power block; as the high-power mode in the OMNI-BEAM family, it delivers the highest excess gain available in the photoelectric line, enabling reliable operation over long glass-fiber links and through signal conditions that challenge lower-gain sensors. The unit offers a 15 ms response time and 1 ms repeatability, aligning with moderate-speed industrial tasks. This sensor head is a two-part assembly—the head plus Banner power block—where outputs and cable options are defined by the chosen block and fiber type. Compatible with Banner’s broader OMNI-BEAM portfolio, the OSBFX-01 can be paired with the appropriate power block and accompanying logic module to tailor sensing performance for your glass-fiber installation, with performance dependent on the specific fiber length and block configuration. In short, the OSBFX-01 provides robust, high-gain glass-fiber sensing for long-distance fiber runs within industrial automation, leveraging Banner’s established OMNI-BEAM ecosystem to deliver repeatable switching in challenging environments.
