R55F Series Fiber-Optic Color Mark Sensors

R55F Series Glass Fiber-Optic Sensor Models

R55F Series Plastic Fiber-Optic Sensor Models

* 9m (30') cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., R55FV W/30). A model with a QD

connector requires a mating cable (see page 11).

Advantages of glass fiber optics for color mark sensing:
• Randomly mixed bifurcated fiber bundles produce the best optics for color mark sensing. 
• Bundle of small fibers may be shaped at sensing end tip to match the color mark shape.
• Best chemical resistance.

Advantages of plastic fiber optics for color mark sensing:
• Plastic fibers may be repeatedly flexed.
• Low cost.
• Most models may be cut to fit in the field.
