Datasensing Optic fibers OF Series

Datasensing OF Series

The OF Series provides a robust family of glass optical fibers engineered for long-distance detection, high optical performance, and industrial durability. Designed for use with fiber-optic amplifiers, these fibers offer enhanced signal stability, wide temperature capability, and multiple head geometries — making them ideal for demanding automation environments where standard plastic fibers are insufficient.

Design & Functionality

• The OF Series uses glass-core optical fibers, providing superior light transmission and excellent resistance to heat, chemicals and mechanical stress.
• Key design features include:
  • Stainless-steel sheathed fibers for maximum protection in harsh or abrasive environments.
  • High-temperature resistance, enabling installation near heat sources or inside machinery.
  • Multiple sensing head configurations (straight, angled, focused, diffuse, through-beam) allowing customization for different detection tasks.
  • Slim fiber tips that allow placement into narrow spaces or compact tooling fixtures.
• The OF Series supports various lengths and mounting accessories, enabling flexible integration even in complex machine layouts.

⭐ Important: Glass-fiber construction delivers greater detection distances, better optical stability, and higher mechanical durability compared to standard plastic fibers.

Total Crossed Beams

(Interpreted as: complete sensing coverage based on fiber type and geometry)

• The OF Series provides reliable light transmission across the entire sensing path, ensuring strong signal reception and consistent detection performance even when the fiber is routed through tight bends or extended distances.
• This high optical efficiency results in fewer detection errors and increased long-term stability in high-speed automation lines.

Beam Pitch Options

(Interpreted as variant options for fiber head type, optical concentration and sensing mode)

• Diffuse-type heads: Ideal for short-range, small-object detection.
• Through-beam heads: Provide maximum sensing distances and high immunity to ambient light.
• Focused-beam lenses: Improve resolution and allow detection of very small targets.
• Fiber bundles are available with various diameters and tip shapes, allowing precise optical concentration depending on the application.

 Important: The variety of OF head designs gives engineers full freedom to adapt sensing paths to the machine environment.

Intrinsic Synchronism

• The emitter and receiver fibers are designed to integrate seamlessly with compatible amplifiers, providing automatic optical synchronism without external components.
• With accurate light-path coupling and stable optical transmission, the OF Series supports fast setup, minimal calibration, and high immunity to electrical noise, ensuring consistent performance even over long fiber lengths.

Operational Advantages

• High optical performance: Glass fibers maintain signal quality over long paths, allowing long detection distances and stable performance.
• Extreme durability: Stainless-steel sheaths protect against crushing, abrasion, oils and coolant liquids.
• Wide temperature capability: Suitable for use near heating elements, ovens, and cutting machinery.
• Flexible routing: Fibers can be bent and routed through small channels, enabling detection points that are otherwise unreachable.
• Applications: Packaging machinery, injection molding, robotic tooling, semiconductor handling, metal-processing lines — anywhere high-efficiency light transmission, long-range detection, or rugged fiber construction is required.
