Overview

The SICK LBST322000 is a bifurcated glass fiber-optic cable designed for proximity systems. It features a threaded tip for secure mounting and connection to compatible photoelectric sensor heads. This component serves as the light guide, transmitting illumination from the source to the target area and returning the reflected signal. The design supports high-precision detection in confined spaces where standard sensors cannot fit.

Feature Summary

• Bifurcated glass fiber construction for efficient light transmission
• Threaded tip for robust mechanical attachment
• Optimized for proximity system applications

Applications

• Proximity detection in automated machinery
• Integration with photoelectric sensor heads
• High-precision object detection in confined spaces

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a bifurcated glass fiber configuration. Confirm compatibility with the intended SICK photoelectric sensor head model. Ensure the installation environment accommodates the physical dimensions of the threaded tip. Check for any special handling requirements due to the fragile nature of glass fibers during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a bifurcated fiber layout is necessary for the sensing geometry. Consider the material properties of glass fibers regarding temperature resistance and chemical compatibility. Evaluate the required bending radius to prevent signal loss or fiber damage. Ensure the sensor head provides sufficient optical power for the specific application distance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the LBS/LIS product family of fiber optic cables. It is specifically engineered for use with SICK photoelectric sensors. The bifurcated design allows for separate emission and reception paths within a single compact unit. It complements the broader range of intelligent sensor solutions offered by the manufacturer.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the bifurcated glass fiber type and threaded tip specification. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same optical performance characteristics. Ensure mechanical compatibility with existing mounting hardware. Cross-reference with official SICK documentation for approved equivalent components.
