Using a different special process, a multiplicity of single optical fibers is gathered AND their order is maintained. After the jacket and end tips are applied and the ends polished, this oriented bundle of fibers (image guide) can transmit an image. This is great for use in medical and industrial imaging applications (borescopes), especially when the image path is not straight.

The bundle configuration and optimal fiber type for a bundle are always dictated by the application. This approach assures the most cost effective solution.

Different types of fibers (silica, flint, plastic and more) can all be packaged into fiber optic bundles, and can be comingled, but most often, fiber optic bundles are comprised of one fiber type.

Sometimes one end of a single fiber optic bundle will be circular, the other end any number of different configurations including rings, lines, panels, fans, half-moons, squares, hexes, and more. These different configurations can be used to emit specific light patterns, or collect light from different pattern inputs, and return the light to a sensor. Furcated bundles can also be configured into the same shapes mentioned above.

Fiber optic bundles are used in many applications, but the two most common uses of this fiber optic form are illumination and signal collection.

A fiber optic bundle, (also known as a light guide or light pipe), is a multiplicity of single optical fiber strands. When this multiplicity of fibers is randomly gathered, it is usually collected in a jacket (buffer, sheathing, housing) and held together at each end with epoxy to form an output or input source. To further support the bundle ends and secure the jacket, the gather of fibers is epoxied in a ferrule (end tip, bushing, connector). Once the ends are polished, the finished fiber optic bundle is used to transmit light from one location to another.

Motorized Linear Stages 8MT175. Resolution of the motorized linear stages can be increased by using a step division function (up to 1/8 of the step) of our controllers. Stages equipped with DC or DC for vacuum motors are available, example: 8MT175-50DCE, 8MT175V-50DCE.
