Fibre-optic amplifier

ifm electronic

The OCF fibre-optic amplifier detects the smallest objects in automated industrial productions and, thus, supports an efficient and reliable process flow. The design requirement was to optimise the handling and robustness of the photoelectric sensor. The OCF is designed to guide users intuitively through mounting, set-up, re-configuration and removal processes. Operating errors are minimised reliably. Unique selling points are the bidirectional DIN rail mounting, the fibrelocking, the high IP rating, the elimination of all losable parts as well as the reduced HMI of the OCF.
