PHILTEC presents a short video that highlights their standard and customized sensors. PHILTEC engineers typically insert/install these devices into equipment or machinery that may present extreme conditions to the probes. Most applications require some customization of the probes and fiber optic cables. PHILTEC engineers optimize custom sensor designs to achieve best performance in their application. … Continue reading

PHILTEC has recently added a new vibration-proof, in-line, wrench-tight connector (Option B2) to their suite of cable connector options. This connector works well for probes and fiber cables exposed to high vibration levels. To request more information or a quotation for this or other PHILTEC products, contact IL Photonics… Continue reading
Problem Quartz fibers have excellent transmission over long lengths, but they are very expensive, so usually cost prohibitive. A customer recently asked for a model D171 sensor with 45-meter length for displacement measurements in vacuum and high magnetic field. Solution PHILTEC devised a 3-piece cost saving system, where only 10% of the model D171 probe … Continue reading
Where it is desirable to separate the sensor electronics from the measuring probes, fiber optic cables can be connectorized using PHILTEC’s simple knurled finger tight design. Some reasons for connectorized fiber optic cables: Easy replacement of damaged tips Substitution of alternate tips Removal of electronics from machinery without removing sensor tips Interchangeability of different tips … Continue reading
The Euclid Satellite project is a good example of how PHILTEC’s sensors work with excellent results in cryogenic conditions. This month PHILTEC again delivered sensor systems for space telescope lens distortion testing measurements. These are 2-channel fiber optic displacement sensor systems (see image above) designed for 3.2 mm operation in vacuum. The delivered seven 2-channel … Continue reading
