The OFSCN® Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) Angle and Curvature Sensor is a specialized sensing solution designed for monitoring structural bending, two-dimensional angle changes, and shape deformation. Unlike traditional electronic sensors, these optical sensors are immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and are suitable for long-distance signal transmission.

Technical Principles & Applications

This sensor typically utilizes the strain difference between multiple FBG elements arranged within a flexible substrate or tube to calculate the curvature and bending angle. It is widely used in:

  • Structural Health Monitoring (SHM): Monitoring the deflection of bridges, tunnels, or dams.
  • Aerospace: Real-time shape sensing of flexible wings or morphing structures.
  • Medical Devices: Tracking the position and bending of catheters or robotic surgical arms.
  • Geotechnical Engineering: Measuring displacement and slope stability.

Key Product Features

Based on our technical standards, the OFSCN® series offers several advantages:

  1. High Precision: Capable of detecting minute changes in curvature and angle.
  2. Durability: Available in various encasements, such as polymer or metal, depending on the required flexibility and environment.
  3. Multi-point Multiplexing: Multiple sensors can be integrated into a single fiber string to reconstruct the 3D shape of an object.
