The SBFX1 is a high-power fiber optic scanner module in the MULTI-BEAM series manufactured by Banner Engineering, serving as one of the core components of a modular photoelectric sensor system. It integrates both emitter and receiver, and can be connected to one bifurcated fiber assembly or two separate fiber cables. Featuring industry-leading excess gain, it is designed for long-range through-beam fiber optic detection in harsh industrial environments.

- Operating Environments and Typical Applications
- Ambienti industriali difficili: High excess gain ensures reliable operation in dusty, oily, and humid conditions.
- Detection in confined spaces: Fiber extension enables sensing in locations where the sensor body cannot be mounted.
- Small target detection: Works with miniature bifurcated fibers as small as 0.5 mm diameter for precise detection.
- Long-range through-beam: Supports extended sensing ranges with suitable fibers (nota: for ultra-long ranges, the separate emitter/receiver combination SBEXF/SBRXF1 is recommended).
- Irregularly shaped targets: Fiber sensing tips can be custom-shaped to match specific target profiles.
Typical applications:
Part positioning and counting on automated production lines
Material presence detection on packaging equipment
Level and fill detection in food and beverage industry
Component assembly verification in automotive manufacturing
Wafer and component inspection in semiconductor industry

- Note sull'utilizzo
- Fiber Selection:
Through-beam mode: Recommended IT13S (1.6 mm diameter) or IT23S (3.18 mm diameter) separate fiber pairs
Diffuse mode: Recommended BT13S (1.6 mm diameter) or BT23S (3.18 mm diameter) bifurcated fibers
Long-distance applications: SBEXF/SBRXF1 separate combination recommended instead of SBFX1
- Power and Logic Modules:
Must be used with a 3-wire or 4-wire power module (per esempio., PBT, PBP, PBO, PBAT, ecc.)
Logic modules (LM series) provide timing functions and light/dark operate selection
Power must be disconnected before changing light/dark operate jumpers
- Installation and Setup:
Adjust sensitivity only after fiber alignment
AID™ indicator pulse frequency below 2 Hz indicates insufficient detection margin; clean fibers or realign as needed
Avoid use in strong electromagnetic interference environments; use shielded cable if necessary
- Manutenzione:
Regularly clean fiber end faces to prevent oil and dust from affecting accuracy
Inspect fibers for damage or excessive bending (minimum bend radius 19 mm)
No special maintenance required for the sensor body; VALOX® housing offers excellent corrosion resistance
