Fiber Optic Position Sensors

Fiber Optic Absolute Encoders

The fiber optic absolute encoders offer accurate angular and linear positional measurements in extreme environments for both rotary and linear applications. The products are designed with an all-optical passive sensor and remote interrogator control module offering long distance measurement, outperforming any electrical sensor.

Benefits

Smarter Asset Management

Enhanced Predictive Maintenance

Increased Safety

Features

Accurate Position Measurement

Inherently Safe

Passive Sensor

These products are sold through Micronor, a division of Photon Control.

Rotary Absolute Encoders

Fiber Optic Rotary Encoder measures absolute angular position from 0° to 360° with 13/14 bit resolution and multiturn tracking up to 12 bits (4096 turns). The system can operate at full accuracy at speeds > 2500 rpm and distances > 300 meters. This sensor system uses a novel optical spectral imprint technique.

Linear Absolute Encoders

Our Linear Absolute Encoder solutions are designed for applications where linear position must be precisely monitored, and electromagnetic or high voltage immunity is required. The encoders provide 14-bit resolution and are ideal solutions for Medical Devices, MRI guide surgical and biopsy robots, and Functional MRI (fMRI) research.
