Tri-Tronics F-A-36T Sensor

Description:

The TRI-TRONICS F-A-36T Sensor is used in industrial photoelectric sensing systems to detect the presence or absence of objects by transmitting light through a straight glass fiber optic light guide. 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 sensor for machine repairs, sensor replacement, automation upgrades, and preventive maintenance.

Applications:

The TRI-TRONICS F-A-36T Sensor 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 sensing tip, stainless steel armored jacket, and 36-inch cable provide dependable light transmission while allowing installation in harsh industrial environments.
