The Banner Engineering DF-G3 discrete long-range fibre amplifier has increased sensing power for difficult detection challenges in printing, packaging and electronic assembly. It has dual digital displays and is designed for use with both plastic and glass fibre-optic assemblies.

The DF-G3 can sense more than 3 m with opposed mode fibres or more than 1 m with diffuse mode fibres. The extra power provides increased detection reliability for dark targets at long range and enhanced detection sensitivity when using specialty fibre assemblies for large area and small part detection applications.

The DF-G3 is available with a single discrete output or two dual discrete outputs. The dual discrete outputs can be independently taught to trigger at different intensity values, which is good for correct part-in-place or error-proofing, bottle down, and edge guiding applications.

Users can also set up the sensor remotely via a multifunction input wire that can be configured to control the LED, gate the amplifier’s output, remote teach the amplifier or set up a robust crosstalk avoidance ring with up to seven amplifiers to solve dense sensing point applications.

With expert Teach and Set functions, the DF-G3 ensures optimal gain and threshold for all applications, but especially for low-contrast applications at long detection range. Users also have full control over all operating parameters, including threshold, light or dark operation, output timing functions, gain level and response speed.

The DF-G3 provides stable detection in industrial lighting environments, and the sensor’s level action fibre clamp ensures stable, reliable and trouble-free fibre clamping.
