New DF-G1 Fiber Amplifier Features Intuitive Interface

Focusing on easy set-up and configuration, stable sensing performance, and competitive pricing all guided the development of the new DF-G1 Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier from Banner. The DF-G1 series features two bright digital readouts, a thermally stable and high performance electronic design, an improved fiber clamp, and a new, more intuitive user interface. This dual display fiber amplifier expands the range of applications and customers Banner can serve with plastic and glass fiber optic assemblies. Such applications include small part or wire break detection on electronics assembly machines, pill and caplet counting, and high-speed detection for registration mark or product leading edge detection. The DF-G1 is powered by a high performance 32-bit microprocessor with a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter. The user has full control over all operating parameters, including switch point threshold, Light Operate or Dark Operate, various output timing functions, electronic gain level, and sensor response speed. The operator can use full manual control or one of six Expert TEACH and SET methods to ensure optimal gain and threshold selection for all applications, especially low contrast applications, such small part or clear object detection. Response speeds of 200 µs (High Speed), 500 µs (Standard Speed), 2 ms (Long Range), and 5 ms (Extra Long Range) allow the operator to optimize the DF-G1 for fast low contrast applications or to maximum the sensing range for long distance applications, such as part in place verification.
