What is a Fiber sensor?

A fiber sensor is a whole detection structure that enables detection of an object by irradiating light by combining a cable-shaped fiber unit that irradiates while passing light and a fiber amplifier that has a light source and an optical amplification function. It is called a fiber sensor. In addition, the fiber sensor is excellent in detection in a narrow space by mainly utilizing the characteristics of the fiber unit of the flexible cable part and the small detection part, but it is also an excellent environment such as non-contact detection and no current flowing through the fiber unit. Due to its high performance, it is used in various environments.

Application of Fiber sensor

The structure of the fiber sensor has the advantages that the sensor head is small, the fiber cable is flexible and does not receive electrical noise, and the sensor head and fiber cable can be heat-resistant and chemical-resistant. In terms of performance, liquids, wood, glass, etc. can be detected in addition to metals based on the principle of light shading and reflection, so from general non-contact product detection to ultra-small products in narrow spaces. It is widely used in various production sites such as detection, positioning, and liquid level detection of storage tanks.
