Teflon encapsulated fiber optics

These plastic and glass fiber optic assemblies are encapsulated in FEP Teflon to withstand harsh chemical environments such as the severe acid baths used in semiconductor applications. They also withstand high temperatures: for standard plastic models the operating range is ?30 to 85?C; for HT1 plastic models it is ?30 to 125?C. The assemblies are available for opposed (through beam) sensing using a separate emitter and receiver, with or without lenses, or for diffuse mode sensing using bifurcated fibers that emit and receive light signals in the same assembly. A liquid level probe is also available in both temperature ranges. Banner Engineering Corp., Minneapolis, MN; ph 612/595-3797, fax 612/544-3213, e-mail
