Fiber Optic Unit Screen/Array NF Series

OPTEX FA

Fiber optic unit to detect with band-like light.
Ideal for workpiece detection in cases where the passing position of the workpiece is not constant or in complex shape.
[Features]
· Screen fiber
　　As a near-parallel light is realized, with the transmission type, subtle differences in light intensity can be detected by array fibers.
　　
· Array fiber
　　As the light is spreading, the optical axis can be easily adjusted, especially with the transmission type.
　　When detecting minute objects at short distances using the reflection type, since the amount of received light increases compared to screen fiber,
　　stable detection is possible.

FAQ Fiber Units for Sensors

Question: What are the main types of fiber optic cables and their applications?: Answer: Fiber Optic Cable Types and Applications: 5 Examples
1. Multimode Fiber (MMF): Applications for example, connecting servers within a data center for high-speed data transfer.
2. Single-mode Fiber (SMF): Applications for example, submarine cables, high-speed internet.
3. Dispersion-Shifted Fiber (DSF): Applications for example, high-bandwidth long-distance ,
Connecting undersea data centers for efficient data transmission.
4. Polarization-Maintaining Fiber (PMF): Applications for example,Optical sensors, coherent transmission systems.
5. Plastic Optical Fiber (POF): Applications for example, indoor applications, decorative lighting, connecting LED lights within a building for decorative purposes.
Question: How do fiber optic sensors work, and in what industries are they most commonly used?: Answer: Fiber optic sensors work by utilizing the properties of light. When light travels through the fiber optic cable, any changes in the surrounding environment, like temperature, pressure, cause changes in the light's properties. These changes are then measured and converted into electrical signals, providing valuable information about the environment.

Example in each Industries:

1.Oil and Gas: Monitoring pipelines for leaks and corrosion, measuring pressure and temperature.
2.Aerospace: Sensing strain, vibration, and temperature in aircraft components.
3.Medical: Monitoring vital signs during surgery, measuring blood pressure and flow.
4.Civil Engineering: Monitoring structural integrity of bridges, buildings, and dams.
5.Telecommunications: Monitoring network performance and optimizing signal transmission.
Question: What are the differences between optical fiber and optic cables in terms of performance and usage?: Answer: Although the terms "optical fiber" and "optic cable" sound different, they both refer to the same technology: a cable that transmits data using light through thin strands of glass or plastic. The core of this technology is the individual strand, known as "optical fiber," while the "optic cable" encompasses the entire assembly, including protective coatings and strengthening materials.

These cables are used across various applications, including providing high-speed internet access, powering the modern telecommunications infrastructure, connecting servers and storage devices within data centers, and even delivering cable TV signals.
Question: Can you explain the benefits and limitations of using fibre optic technology in data transmission?: Answer: Benefits:
• High speed and bandwidth: Offers significantly higher data transmission rates compared to copper cables, enabling faster data transfer and supporting bandwidth-intensive applications.
• Low signal attenuation: Signals travel much farther with minimal degradation, allowing for long-distance data transmission without the need for repeaters.
• Immunity to electromagnetic interference: Unaffected by electrical noise and interference, ensuring reliable data transmission in critical environments.
• Lightweight and flexible: Cables are lighter and easier to handle than copper cables, making them ideal for complex installations.
Limitations:
• Cost: Fibre optic cables and equipment are generally more expensive than copper alternatives.
• Installation complexity: Requires specialized skills and tools for proper installation and maintenance.
• Fragility: Fibre optic cables are more fragile than copper cables and susceptible to damage from physical impacts.
Question: What factors should one consider when choosing the right fiber cables for a specific application?: Answer: 1. Application: Distance, bandwidth needs, environmental conditions.
2. Cable type: Multimode or Single-mode based on distance and bandwidth.
3. Cable features: Core diameter, jacket type, and connector compatibility.
4. Cost and budget: Balancing performance, price, and future needs.
5. Regulations: Compliance with relevant standards like TIA/EIA or ISO/IEC.
6. Futureproofing: Choosing cables supporting future expansion and upgrades.
Question: How does one accurately measure and calculate the required length of fiber wire for an installation?: Answer: 1. Plan the route: Carefully map the cable path, noting bends, obstacles, and elevation changes.
2. Measure straight sections: Use a measuring wheel or laser distance meter for accurate measurements.
3. Calculate bend allowance: Estimate additional length for bends based on bend radius and angle.
4. Utilize specialized tools: Consider Visual Optical Length Testers (VOLTs) for faster and more precise measurements.
5. Add buffer: Allow extra length for splicing, repairs, and future adjustments.
