Being a global leader of fiber optical sensors we have enhanced our portfolio on optical fibers. The new hex shape fiber series with built-in lens combines significant performance enhancement with user-friendly mounting even in tight spaces. Offered at an affordable price they are an attractive alternative to solutions with separate lenses.
The new hex shape series E32-LT11N/E32-LD11N/E32-LR11NP contain through-beam, retro-reflective and diffuse reflective fiber models with M3 to M6 size. All fibers feature high-flexible fiber wire for easy installation into machines.

Increased usability and robustness
Hex-shape fiber heads provide significant advantages when mounting in machines, especially when space is limited.
Increased sensing distance and precision
By reducing the spot angle from 60° to 15° built-in lens fiber provides up to 10 times higher light intensity and allows much higher precision in object positioning compared to conventional fiber heads. In addition, it also reduces the danger of side reflection and mutual interference:
Built-in lens provides simplicity and reliability
New Fibers with built-in lens eliminate possible failures of separate lenses that can get lose from conventional fibers. It also saves installation space and simplifies part selection and ordering.
