Fiber Optic Position Sensor is Immune to Lightening Strikes

The Model MR330 series fiber optic position sensor system is my latest innovation.It is an all-optical design immune to any electro-magnetic interference such as lightening, radiation, magnetic fields and other harsh environmental conditions. The fiber optic aspect of the sensor also makes it perfectly suited for long distance position sensing over hundreds of meters without being affected by ground loop problems. This innovative product measures absolute angular position from 0° to 360° with 13-bit (8192 count) resolution at speeds exceeding 2500 rpm and distances up to 300 meters.

The sensor modulates the optical signal based on the exact position of the sensor disk. This modulated optical signal is analyzed within the controller and translated into the position signal. Because the sensor is electrically passive it can be deployed in EMI/RFI intense environment without being disturbed by such interference.
