The Fiber Optic BUZZ was at Sensors Converge 2024
Micronor Sensors featured LIVE Theater presentations, FO Sensor demos, plus the new Immunity-series Optical Force Sensors and Smart Bracket Force Sensors from Lilikoi Innovations
We are the only sensor solutions provider where fiber optic and electromechanical sensor technology solutions converge from one very experienced source
Sensors are very broad class of components. Our focus is solely on sensors for kinetic applications, where things are in motion or put into motion. Many of our most popular fiber optic products are available off-the-shelf – such as the FO Emergency Stop, FO Microswitch, FOTEMP temperature probes as well as Fiber Bragg Grating interrogators and some stock FBG strain and temperature sensor chains.
Let’s start with our fiber optic sensor products. These sensors are called for where immunity to interference, RF, microwaves, magnetic fields or high voltage electrical isolation is required. There’s more reasons for needing a fiber optic sensor but let’s start with those.
- NEW Lilikoi Innovation Femto Finger Gripper, Grasper and Inline Force Sensors for robotic applications and harsh environments, based on FBG technology.
- Single or Multipoint Temperature, Strain and/or Force sensing with Fiber Bragg Grating sensors – up to 30 FBGs can be spaced as close as 2mm or 10m apart.
- FO Temperature sensors, High Precision FOTEMP GaAs or Multipoint FBGs, for the most demanding harsh environment applications.
- MR386 series FO Microswitch – ideal for high voltage environments (bypass switch monitoring) and magnetic field environments (special non-metallic MRI-invisible model can operate in the MRI bore).
- MR387 series FO Emergency Stop – the MR387 family offers POF, Multimode or Single Mode models with single mode reach to 10km.
- MR430 series POF based Absolute Encoder for MRI and other industrial rated robotic applications.
- MR660 series Multi-axis FO Acceleration sensors for dynamically monitoring acceleration or vibration.
And moving on to our range electromechanical and electronics-based sensors:
- NEW Lilikoi Innovation Smart Bracket Strain Gauge Force Sensors are designed to easily mount to aluminum T-Extrusions in industrial automation applications..
- Encoders and resolvers, rotary or linear. absolute or incremental.
- Rotary or linear limit switches, FO or EM, where discrete position feedback is required
- Cam timers and motorized potentiometers, used on mostly on legacy automation systems.
We work with customers coming from both sides. Sometimes a Fiber Optic Sensor is the only solution. And sometimes a conventional Electromechanical solution makes the most sense.
Our sensor offerings are real, commercialized products. Our goal is to maintain some stock of specific sensors that help the customer get going with his application. The worst decisions are made when lead time forces poor choices and compromises.
Sensors should not be hidden under glass (no fiber optic pun intended!). At our booth, you can feel, touch and see them operate in real time. This year features the following fiber optic sensor products:
- How do FOTEMP Fiber Optic GaAs Temperature Sensors work? We’ll show you how these sensors work – all based on the intrinsic properties of GaAs.
- How do Fiber Bragg Gratings work? The demo explains the sensors’s Bragg Wavelength and how it is affected by temperature change as well as physical strain.
- High precision FOTEMP GaAs temperature probes and instrumentation. Check out the new portable FOTEMP-H2. and the ever popular bench top FOTEMP-PLUS.
- Single and multipoint Temperature, Strain and Force sensing with Fiber Bragg Gratings. We can measure temperature from -250C to +800C and strain range of +/- 20,000 microstrain.
- Multipoint Temperature, Strain and/or Force sensing with FBGs – both a micro and a macro application
- MR387 series FO Emergency Stop solution – the MR387 family that offers POF, Multimode or Single Mode fiber and distance solutions
- MR430 series POF based MRI-safe Absolute Encoder for MRI and other industrial rated robotic applications
We are offering a 10% discount on GaAs temperature and multipoint FBG sensors for SC24 attendees. Mention promo code SC2024 for the 10% show discount, for orders placed through August 2024..
…And that was the BUZZ emanating from Micronor Sensors at Sensors Converge from Micronor Sensors.
