Emitter intensity is also stable due to few curvatures and gaps in the beam axis.
Features
■ It is a fiber with superior light intensity stability and simple digital management when combined with the FX-500 series amplifier.
■ It offers stable sensing with an extremely small beam axis curvature and gap.
Digital management is simple due to small differences in body.
When connected with the FX-500 series amplifiers, it has up to 4 times improved stability of incident light intensity compared with traditional fibers. Management is simple even when replacing amplifiers because the digital display shows the approximate value.
Emitter intensity is also stable due to few curvatures and gaps in the beam axis.
Stable emission intensity within ±10 %
Variation in emission amount of the fiber core is controlled down to less than ±10 %, achieving a stable detection.
●Beam axis deviation: Thru-beam type within ±2° , Reflective type within ±3°
●Beam axis centering precision: within ±150 μm
Expanded temperature range
Integrated high-precision plug
The centering precision of the fiber core attached to the inserting plug is doubled.
As the insertion precision is increased, the variation among units can be greatly suppressed.
● Centering precision: within ±40 μm
