1 More Precision. optocontrol CLS-K Fiber optic sensors for gap, diameter, edge and presence

2 optocontrol CLS-K In many automation and assembly technology applications, standard versions of optical sensors cannot be used, due to adverse ambient conditions such as high temperatures, small installation spaces or restricted access. For these tasks, MICRO-EPSILON Eltrotec has developed fiber optic sensors as a specific solution for these applications, for which the evaluation electronics (amplifier) and the optoelectronic components (fiber optic) are arranged separately. The fiber optic sensors consist of a transmitter and receiver for infrared or ultraviolet light, with subsequent signal processing. A high-quality glass fiber fiber optic provides precision light transmission according to the principle of total reflection. The measuring and test amplifiers optocontrol CLS-K are offered as infrared or ultraviolet-light types, starting at a wavelength of 280 nanometres, and they enable measuring frequencies of 4 to 8 khz at resolutions starting from 0.1mm. The electronics on the optocontrol CLS-K offer variable amplification; the output signal is available for downstream systems as a voltage or current signal. In addition to these, there are versions with electrically isolated optocoupler or relay outputs, displays, as well as a special version that provides temperature compensation and is protected to IP65. These fiber optic sensors enable a wide variety of applications, from monitoring the presence of and recognising the position of components in automatic assembly machines, feeding systems, test and inspection applications, through to gap and web-edge detection. 2

19 Special versions Fiber optics with increased vibration protection Glass fibers are very flexible due to their small diameter and they can be bent or guided almost at will. However, glass fibers can break due to hard shocks or jerky movements (strong positive or negative accelerations). Especially for fiber optic, which are subject to these conditions, our glass fiber series makes it possible to produce fiber-optic cables with increased vibration protection. Friction between the glass fibers is minimized by a special treatment and shocks are reduced by damping. (Additional designation VS) When ordering an fiber optic with increased vibration protection, please add the abbreviation VS to the fiber optic code. Fiber optics with special bonding for high temperatures (T250) (T400) (T600) The glass fibers can be bonded for high temperature ranges. The standard bonding is suitable for temperatures up to 80 C. Temperatures of up to 250 C and even 400 C can be reached when special adhesives are used. For higher temperature ranges it is necessary to use Type E stainless steel sheathing. When ordering an fiber optic for high temperatures, please add the abbreviations T250 or T400 to the fiber optic code. Temperatures of up to 600 C can be reached with metallic fibers and with sapphire optics installed. ifferent types of fiber Other types of fiber can be supplied on request. These include UV fibers, special infrared fibers, wide-angle fibers or plastic fibers. Customer-specific fiber optics One of the strengths of the Micro-Epsilon Eltrotec fiber optic production is the manufacturing of very complex fibers, both large and small sensor mechanisms (with multiple segments and special adapters, among other things). Micro-Epsilon-Eltrotec can draw on many years of experience in the fields of sensor technology and cold light illumination, as well as in illumination for cameras, microscopes and medical applications, and in endoscopy. 19
