Detecting fiber meander

Detecting fiber meander

You wish to detect fiber swing of ±2.0 mm or greater since fiber deflection caused by tension variability can lead to problems in the next process.

[Issue] Installation space and waterproofness

• The property cannot be detected using a contact-type sensor.
• The space in which the sensor can be installed is limited.
• Waterproofness is essential since the sensor could get wet.

[Solution] Install Thru-beam Type Digital Displacement Sensors so as to surround the fiber and detect deflection.

Install two  HG-T Series  Thru-beam Type Digital Displacement Sensors so that they surround the fiber and use them to detect deflection.

By installing HG-T sensors so that they surround the fiber, you can detect deflection no matter which direction it occurs in!

High-precision measurement　

Detect minuscule objects at a resolution of 2.5 μm  (at an installation distance of 100 mm)!

Waterproofness　

IP67 compliant! The sensor can be used in environments in which it will get wet.

Easy installation

Includes a beam axis adjustment assist function! Installation is simple since the direction in which the emitter and receiver are misaligned is indicated by the beam axis adjustment indicator.

Space-saving design

Compact head measures just 8 mm × 30 mm × 60 mm!

A slim model measuring 8 mm × 20 mm × 60 mm is also available.
