Optical Fiber Sensors
Compact optical sensing for high-speed automation, semiconductor tools, inspection machines, and confined equipment spaces.
Detection families
NX-S sensors place the optical sensing point in the machine while keeping electronics away from heat, electrical noise, vacuum, and restricted spaces.
NX-S100
Through-beam sensing for small-part detection, counting, edge confirmation, and position checks.
NX-S200
Diffuse reflective sensing for single-side installation, surface detection, labels, and component presence.
NX-S300
Vacuum-compatible fiber assemblies for wafer handling, vacuum chambers, and thin-film process tools.
NX-S400
High-temperature fiber heads for process equipment and elevated-temperature sensing locations.
NX-S500
Custom sensing assemblies with head geometry, mounting, sheath, length, and amplifier interface options.
| Detection type | Through-beam, diffuse reflective, vacuum-compatible, high-temperature, and custom optical head configurations. |
|---|---|
| Fiber head types | Straight, right-angle, threaded, sleeve, narrow-tip, flat-tip, side-view, and customer-specific mounts. |
| Cable length options | 1 m, 2 m, 3 m, 5 m, 10 m, and custom lengths subject to bend radius and optical loss review. |
| Temperature range | Standard industrial operation with high-temperature options specified per fiber, sheath, and head material. |
| Vacuum options | Low-outgassing assemblies, sealed routing concepts, chamber-side head options, and feedthrough-compatible designs. |
| Typical response | Fast-response amplifier-compatible assemblies for high-speed detection; final timing depends on amplifier and target condition. |
| Amplifier compatibility | Designed for common fiber amplifier architectures and custom interface review for OEM equipment. |
| Custom mounting | Bracket, threaded, clamp, miniature fixture, stainless sleeve, and customer drawing-based head designs. |
