| Micronor Celebrates 10 Years of Fiber Optic Sensor Innovation |
May 2013 marks 10 years since Micronor Inc. was first established in a modest business unit on Old Conejo Road in Newbury Park, California. In additional to providing sales and service for Micronor AG products in the North America, Micronor Inc. brought together a group of ambitious fiber optic engineers who spent the next 10 years creating innovative fiber optic sensors. We branded them ZapFREE® because of their immunity to EMI, RFI and lightning.2004-World's First Commercial FO Incremental Encoder (MR310)2007-FO Incremental Encoder Patent Approved2010-World's First Commercial MRI-compatible FO Encoder (MR318)2011-World's First 13-bit FO Position Sensor (MR330)2012-World's First Commercial MRI-compatible FO Position Sensor (MR338)2013-FO Absolute Position Sensor Patent Approved |

| World's First MRI Compatible Absolute Encoder Wins ASME Project of the Year Award |
At the 2013 National Engineers Week® Awards Banquet for Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties, ASME Channel Islands Section recognized Micronor's MR338 MRI Compatible Absolute Position Sensor as Project of the Year. In addition to being the world's first commercially available MRI Compatible Absolute Encoder, the product development included many unique engineering and material science challenges in the quest for creating a non-metallic version of its successful MR332 Absolute Sensor. For more information on the project's challenges and innovations, check out the ASME Channel Islands website for Micronor's POY nominating presentation. |

| New 2nd Generation Fiber Optic Incremental Encoders |
Micronor's new MR320 series Fiber Optic Incremental Rotary Encoders represent the 2nd Generation of the MR310 series originally introduced in 2004. With 8 years of customer usage, these fiber optic sensors have demonstrated their intrinsic immunity to EMI and inherent safety in all manner of challenging environments. Design and performance improvements include: Duplex fiber design increases optical loss budget by 6dB Maximum distance extended to 2500 meters Duplex LC interface is user friendly and better performing Same package and extended temperature options as original MR310 series ATEX classified Simple Apparatus for safe use in mines & haz locations |
