Basic Information
Senses work with indefinite shape or position in the beam band without missing.
Features
■ Senses work with indefinite shape or position in the beam band without missing. It can also be used to determine shape.
Applications
Sensing tiny moving objects
Inspecting screw height
Control the amount of meandering
Confirming presence of slit mask
Introducing a tough fiber that transcends common knowledge!
It has toughness that can be used in moving parts, toughness that can be bent with precision,and high-quality for all purposes.
It changes common knowledge about fibers.
* Bending radius: R10 mmR0.394 in, Reciprocating bending: 180°
