For applications in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, light guides are also available which feature a tough Teflon sheath.
To give enhanced versatility, light guides for Osiris sensors are supplied separately from the amplifiers, allowing users to select a combination of products to match requirements.
The XUF fibre-optic light guides are available in a range of types for through-beam and diffuse reflection applications. A sensing range of 300mm is achievable with 2.2mm diameter fibres that are 2m in length, in through-beam configuration. This can be extended to 2000mm with optional lens accessories. Diffuse reflection versions are available with nominal ranges up to 95mm.
