The enormous qualitative and quantitative development of plastics has led to the introduction on the market of an enormous quantity of paints.Along with many interesting solution, there can be...
For any application-oriented sensor solution, a suitable fiber-optic cable must be chosen. At SICK, the broad range of fiber-optic cables made from plastic and glass fibers permits optimal automation solutions.
This applies in particular to tasks for which the fiber-optic cable requires application-specific adaption, where flexible cable installation is crucial, where high temperatures prevail, or a particular material compatibility is important.
While the fibers of plastic fiber-optic cables are characterized, among other things, by the smallest of bend radii and maximum flexibility, and can also be shortened to any length, the glass fiber-optic cables are more chemically resistant and suitable for a higher temperature range.
The wide variety of end sleeve options or individual special sleeves enable virtually any installation possibility. Depending on the application, the fiber-optic cable's protective cladding can be made from plastic, metal, or Teflon for exposure to aggressive chemicals.
