OPTEX NF Series

OPTEX NF Series: Fiber Sensors Overview A complete fiber optic sensor consists of the amplifer and a fiber optic cable. The fiber cable is chosen based upon the specific application. Optex offers more than 80 different cables in both Thru-beam and Diffuse sensing modes. When to use Fiber optics confinedareas The small size and flexibility of fibers allows precise positioning where space is limiited. High temperature applications Fiber optic assemblies can tolerate elevated temperatures in some cases as high as 300° F. High vibration and shock The low mass of fibers enables them to withstand extreme vivration and mechanical shock. Noisy environments FIbers are non-electronic mechanical components, and are completely immune to electrical noise. Corrosive and wet environments Special purpose fibers withstand corrosive materials, moisture and even repeated washdown. Unique target shapes and requirements Fiber optic sensing heads can be custom-designed and ootimally " shaped" to the physical and optical requirements of a specific application.
