Plastic fibers are light, cost-effective, and flexible which is why they are the most common type of fiber sensor. Depending on the application, fiber may be used because of its small size, or because no electrical power is needed at the remote location, or because many sensors can be multiplexed along the length of a fiber by using light wavelength shift for each sensor, or by sensing the time delay as light. Our global manufacturing network for fiber optic sensors in Ayabe (Japan), Shanghai (China) and Nufringen (Germany) focuses on continuously optimising methods for small and large volume production, applying stringent quality control procedures, and expanding production portfolio and flexibility to. These sensors and cables can be employed in spaces too small for conventional photoelectric sensors ensuring reliable object detection in particularly cramped mounting conditions. Sensing is based on { 1 + ln( / ) z + ln( / ) } Equipped with safety features and remote fault monitoring. The fiber optic sensor has an optical fiber connected to a light source to allow for detection in tight spaces or where a small profile is beneficial.
