Sensor Tasks

Colorimetry is attaining a greater importance in many branches of industry. Colors must be precisely determined in order to ensure consistent product quality. Using other devices, color tones can be precisely measured with the help of a sample and then reproduced for other purposes.

The surface inspection is the traditional task of industrial image processing. In nearly all branches of industry, surfaces of all types have to be inspected as part of the quality assurance process.

The main task of spectrometry is to identify substances in a liquid, gas or solid state. This task can often be realized with the help of a fiber optic sensor system.

Fiber optic sensors are often used in testing benches to measure the rpm and speed of motors.

For many applications and production products the temperature must be measured in a contact-free manner using fiber optic sensors.

Leakages can be found by means of fiber optic sensors. Particularly when it comes to hazardous substances, the advantages of a fiber optic sensor system become most apparent.

Fiber optic sensor systems work along along their entire lengths and reliably detect temperature increases, fire or even smoke. This also allows the exact location of the hazard to be determined.

Glass fibers can be built into certain materials. If the material structure changes due to mechanical factors, this also affects the refraction of light in the fiber optic sensor system, and the damage is signaled.
