We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Fibre Optic Sensor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Photo-electric sensors spot small objects from
Siemens Automation and Drives, which we summarised at the time by saying "Siemens Automation and Drives' proximity sensors can detect objects in a range of sizes, at ranges of up to 30m".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Fibre optic sensor counts small components from
Contrinex UK: "Contrinex' LFP-1011-020 fibre optic sensor has a beam spread of 28mm that will detect objects in any position across the broad area of light transmission".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Panasonic Electric Works UK
concerning its Sunx FX-100 Series
- take a look at Slimline sensor is easy to integrate
which says: "The Sunx FX-100 Series is an ultraslim fibre optic sensor that features a 9mm width and integrated mounting holes for installation in any application".
Take a look also at the news release from Contrinex UK, Fibre optic sensor is on the level,
as well as Dual sensing in one body from Omron Electronics,
and Road sensors chosen for difficult routes from Vaisala.
