Perform high-performance, high-speed detection with optical fibres designed to be used in a variety of environment conditions. KEYENCE Sensors are used to detect, measure, and inspect a target during a process to increase efficiency. A fiber-optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element (“intrinsic sensors”), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals (“extrinsic sensors”). Fibers have many uses in remote sensing.
Fiber optic sensors are excellent for specific conditions such as noise, high vibration, unstable environments, extreme heat, and wet conditions. These sensors, which are based on flexible fibers, may be readily incorporated in local ranges. A Fiber Sensor is a type of Photoelectric Sensor that enables detection of objects in narrow locations by transmitting light from a Fiber Amplifier Unit with a Fiber Unit. The small sensing section and flexible Fiber Unit cable enable a Fiber Sensor to detect objects in narrow locations.
Fiber-optic sensors (also called optical fiber sensors) are fiber-based optical sensors for some quantity, typically temperature or mechanical strain, but sometimes also displacements, vibrations, pressure, acceleration, rotations (measured with optical gyroscopes based on the Sagnac effect), or concentrations of . The optical fibre sensors are divided into two categories: thrubeam and reflective. The thrubeam type comprises a transmitter and a receiver. The reflective type, which is a single unit, is available in 3 types: parallel, coaxial, and separate. The 3 are based on the shape of the crosssection of the optical fibre.
