Sleeve Fiber

User-friendly, high quality fiber. Improved centering accuracy and specularity.

Features
<Thru-beam type> FT-E13/FT-E23 Ultra-small diameter fiber

Centering of 1/10 mm or less
Ultra-small diameter fibers with a compact head ensure precision centering accuracy* to stably detect minute parts.

Minute sensing only possible with ultra small fiber

● Detection of fine-pitch connector pins
Ultra-small diameter fiber with ø0.125 mm ø0.005 in beam axis is able to detect the insertion or bending of fine-pitch connector pins.

● Detection of tiny chips
Fiber can be installed with only the ø0.25 mm ø0.010 in sleeve close to the minute section.

Stainless steel fittings are used for the fiber head of all models.

●Clearly conforms to RoHS
●Can be used for secondary battery
●Improved mounting strength

Application
Introducing a tough fiber that transcends common knowledge!

It has toughness that can be used in moving parts, toughness that can be bent with precision,and high-quality for all purposes.
It changes common knowledge about fibers.

* Bending radius: R10 mm R0.394 in, Reciprocating bending: 180°
