Panasonic's Thread Type Fiber incorporates standard Panasonic Fiber with a modified Fiber Head so it can be mechanically fastened using nuts, drastically improving flexibility and strength performance while maintaining a reasonable cost.
Applications that require multiple sensing distances can choose from a range of models designed with interchangeable Lenses that can be simply swapped out, when switching from long distance sensing to microscopic object detection. For applications that require the Fibers to be repeatedly disconnected, Panasonic offers models with protective tubing and a sturdy stainless steel jacket to limit damage that may occur from intentional and accidental disconnection.
