The Autonics BF3RX Fiber Optic Sensor is engineered with a built-in twin volume design for coarse and fine sensitivity adjustments, giving engineers control over detection accuracy in varied conditions. With its Red LED (660nm) light source, the BF3RX Sensor maintains stable performance under strong ambient illumination, including sunlight up to 11,000 lx. A rapid response time of just 1 ms ensures reliable operation in high-speed automation lines, making it suitable for detecting fast-moving or micro-sized objects. Operating on a wide 12β24VDC Β±10% supply, with low current consumption of 40mA, it balances efficiency with durability. Its NPN open collector output supports smooth integration with PLCs and controllers, while selectable Light ON/Dark ON modes enhance application flexibility.
Built with an ABS case and polycarbonate cover, the BF3RX Autonics sensor is rugged enough to operate in ambient temperatures of -10β to 50β and humidity up to 85% RH. The package includes a sensitivity adjuster driver, mounting bracket, bolts, and nuts, simplifying installation for engineers and maintenance teams. Wholesalers, dealers, and distributors across industrial hubs recognize the long-term value of this model, as it consistently delivers reliable performance in demanding factory settings.
In real-world applications, the BF3RX is widely used in packaging systems, PCB assembly, and automated sorting where fast response and compact installation are critical. Maintenance engineers appreciate its dual adjustment capability for precise tuning, while automation integrators rely on its stable signal output to ensure error-free processes. Commonly searched as BF3RX, Autonics BF3RX, or BF3RX Autonics Sensor, it is also referred to under industry terms like Dual Adjustment Fiber Optic Amplifiers. This product strengthens the Autonics reputation for reliable sensing technology, ensuring accurate detection and stable automation performance.
