The OFSCN® Fiber Bragg Grating Weighing Sensor is a specialized application of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology designed for high-precision monitoring of weight and force changes.
Technical Overview
Unlike traditional electronic strain-gauge-based weighing cells, an FBG-based weighing system utilizes the shift in the reflected center wavelength of a grating to perceive force.
Core Characteristics:
- Electromagnetic Immunity: Since the sensing signal is light rather than electricity, it is immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and lightning, making it suitable for harsh industrial or outdoor environments.
- High Precision & Resolution: The system can be customized to detect extremely slight changes in weight by optimizing the mechanical structure of the sensing unit.
- Long-distance Transmission: The signal can be transmitted over several kilometers without loss, which is ideal for large-scale infrastructure monitoring.
- Intrinsically Safe: No electricity is present at the sensing point, which is critical for applications in explosive or flammable environments.
Product Customization
As indicated in the technical documentation, the OFSCN® Fiber Bragg Grating Weighing Sensor is a highly customized product rather than a standardized off-the-shelf component. Our engineering team designs the mechanical interface and sensitivity range based on specific project requirements, including:
- Measurement Range: From grams to hundreds of tons.
- Resolution & Accuracy: Tailored to the specific recording requirements.
- Environmental Factors: Adjustments for temperature compensation and housing durability.
