Overview
The Keyence FU-33 is a reflective fiber unit that functions as a sensor head for Keyence fiber optic detection systems. Part of the FU series, the FU-33 is designed to connect directly to compatible fiber optic amplifiers and controllers. Its reflective sensing design makes it ideal for applications requiring detection of objects reflecting light back toward the sensor head.
Key Features
- Reflective sensing configuration for reliable object detection
