High Speed Fiber Optic Amplifier

DF-G2 Series

Designed to achieve the world's fastest response rate, the DF-G2 fiber optic amplifier can achieve 10 microsecond response time with 5 microsecond repeatability.

  • Models with IO-Link enable a point-to-point communication link between a master device and a sensor, facilitating remote monitoring, teaching, and configuration
  • Best in class response speeds of 10 μs, 15 μs, 50 μs, 250 μs, 500 μs, and 1000 μs
  • Easy-to-read dual digital displays show signal level and threshold values
  • Simple user interface ensures easy sensor set-up and programming via displays and switches/buttons or remote input teach wire
  • Expert TEACH and SET methods ensure optimal gain and threshold for all applications, especially for high speed or low contrast applications
  • Thermally stable electronics shortens start-up time and maintains signal stability during operation
  • Economy display mode reduces amplifier power consumption by 25%
  • Cross talk avoidance algorithm allows two sensors to operate in close proximity

Accurately detecting bonding wire breakage to reduce downtime.

Wafer Center Detection with DF-G2
Wafer Center Detection with DF-G2

By pairing Banner’s DF-G2 with four opposed mode PLIS-1 fiber optics, operators can ensure that a wafer is placed correctly on the end effecter of a robotic arm, ensuring that no damage is done when passing it into the chamber.

High-Speed Tablet Counting With DF-G2
High-Speed Tablet Counting With DF-G2

Banner’s DF-G2 small object detection fiber amplifier is ideal for small object detection and counting applications. The DF-G2 amplifier has a fast response speed and can detect extremely small sizes, such as 3 mm tablets or pills. When the tablets fall into bottles, it fires an output to the DF-G2 fiber amplifier, which keeps count of tablets.
