Strain sensors
SG-01
-
The Strain Gage SG-01 is the fibre optic equivalent of an electrical strain gage. The Strain Gage SG-01 can be mounted directly on the surface of a structure by means of an adhesive. In this way, the fibre sensor makes direct contact with the surface and therefore measures directly the strain at the surface.

Endoscopes
-
Originally designed for the medical sector, endoscopes are the ideal tool for inspection and maintenance today. Endoscopes offer new perspectives to viewing the insides of machines. Thanks to their flexible fibre optic cables and light weight enclosure, these extraordinary endoscopes are the ideal tool for inspection and maintenance. Endoscopes can locate problems and conflicts of the system very easily and quickly, allowing for preventative measures to be taken without the need to dismantle the machinery first. Complex dismantling of machines is usually very time and cost intensive. With the help of endoscopes, inspections in an industrial sector can therefore be organized considerably faster, more aimed and more cost-efficiently Endoscopes are used mainly by electricians, security personnel, specialists in the professional sector, and mechanics of all types. All of our endoscopes are ***Not for medical use***
