Fibre-optic systems:
Bending light the easy way
S
Sensors which are to be used in
fully automatic production
processes must be compact and
extremely powerful. However,
many situations demand more
complex solutions. For example if
not enough space is available, or
a reduction in weight is necessary.
Also if the environment of the
device is subject to severe vibra-
tions, electromagnetic interference
or excessive temperatures. Once
again, SICK has the answer:
fibre-optic systems. SICK offers
an extensive range of both pre-
assembled fibre-optic cables and
cables which can be adapted and
cut to length to meet your own
specific needs. Cables are avail-
able with plastic or metal jacket,
plug or screw connections, and a
wide selection of different end
sleeves.
The different types of fibre-optic
cables are distinguished by their
jacket and the number, as well as
arrangement, cross section and
material of the optical fibres.
Glass fibre-optic cables can be
used in temperatures of up to
315 °C. Fibre-optic cables with
plastic fibres can usually be
shortened to any length and their
bending radii are smaller.

optic cable types:
