Vydas International Marketing has added to its range of high-quality industrial glass-fibre-optic light guides.

Vydas International Marketing has added to its range of high-quality industrial glass-fibre-optic light guides which now includes illumination bundles for use in the repair of medical instrumentation and endoscopes.

High quality industrial fibres, manufactured to the highest standards, now give customers the benefit of buying at really competitive prices, regardless of which manufacturer's photoelectric sensors are to be used in the application.

Standard industrial stock light guides are compatible with most photoelectric sensors and offer exceptional quality at factory direct low prices.

Significant cost savings can be made on all types of the standard range of fibre optic light guides and be compatible with most of the sensors that are available in the market today.

Custom light guides are also available, designed exactly to customer specifications.

Various lengths, bundle sizes, sheathing materials and end tips are available to suit any particular application, from prototypes and small volume to large production quantities.

The standard industrial glass fibres, available from stock, are manufactured to exceptional quality standards and are drawn from the highest-purity glass.

The very same fibre is available to customers for their own projects or product assembly with fast turnaround for those demanding custom needs.

Fibres are constructed from borosilcate optical glass fibre, optical-grade epoxy, stainless steel and/or brass end tips, sheathing of flexible interlocking stainless steel (type 302) or PVC with monocoil steel reinforcement.

The stainless-steel sheathing models are suitable for a wide range of operating temperatures between -45 and +275C.

The PVC monocoil reinforced models are suitable for applications where complete waterproof sealing is required and can operate between -40 and +105C.

The standard industrial fibre brochure, specification and price list is available by request, in addition to a growing list of Vydas part-number conversion tables for various manufacturers.

For those very severe applications, special assemblies with stainless-steel sheathing and end tips can be manufactured with operating ranges from -140 to +315C.

In addition to its industrial range, Vydas now has high-quality ready-to-install medical illumination bundles for Olympus, Pentax and Fujinon flexible endoscopes.

These high performance bundles for endoscope repairs are made of small-diameter high-transmission fibres, FDA-approved thin-wall silicone sheathing, and molycoted inside and out for durability and ease of installation.
