Product information "T-Gauge® Sensors & Gauges for Terahertz Gauging & Imaging"

Horizontal PER <20:1; Beam Diameter 20, 38, 40 mm; Lens 25,75,150 mm, Collimating; Min. Layer Thickness 10-50 µm; Single High-flex Umbilical

Luna’s T-Ray® 5000 measurement system is one of the fastest terahertz systems available on the market. Luna’s broad range of T-Gauge® sensor heads and gauges are paired with the T-Ray® 5000 Intelligent Terahertz Control Unit to create a complete system.

Transmitter and receiver are securely mounted inside the online sensor head’s sealed metal housing. The umbilical for the transceiver, containing the electrical and optical connections, is constructed with high flex rated electrical cable to allow for continuous scanning. When connected to a T-Ray® 5000 Control Unit, the online sensor heads will provide excellent waveform response, capable of providing detailed reflection measurement of layered surfaces or products.

The T-Gauge® HXC50yn is a high-performance online sensor head with full transceiver functionality and takes the robustness of the T-Ray® 5000 terahertz system to a new level with the ability to operate in industrial environments. Reflection measurement of thickness, multi-layer thickness, and basis weight are easily acquired. A variety of lenses are available to adjust the measurement spot size and working distance.

The “y” and “n” in the model number correspond to the focal length of the lens, and the type of terahertz transmitter, respectively – “y” = 4 for 75 mm lens and 5 for 150mm lens, “n” = 1 for a type 1 transmitter and 2 for a type 2 transmitter.

The T-Gauge® HXC51yn online sensor head adds functionality to the standard online sensor head with a virtual reference surface (VRS). Reflection measurement of thickness, multi-layer thickness, basis weight, and density are easily acquired. The VRS enables non-contact, calibration-less caliper thickness measurement as well as basis weight and density without reducing the open separation between the sensor and the product.

The T-Gauge® HXP51y2 online EPG sensor head allows measurement of thinner layers than the standard HXC50yn online sensor head. With higher bandwidth and higher signal to noise, the EPG opens new applications to terahertz process control. Coatings on metal or composite substrates and free standing films can be measured down to 10 µm (0.5 mil).

The T-Gauge® HSC50yn compact industrial sensor is designed for industrial applications that require a smaller footprint, a lighter weight or two output beams. These capabilities are met by the HSC50yn, which capitalizes on the new single fiber lighter weight umbilical, and a more compact design, to allow robot mounting. With proper attention to the configuration, it can be used to inspect two points on the same object. In the case of small diameter tubing, this can even be used to measure four orthogonal points at the same time.

The T-Gauge® SCS500n explosion-proof thickness measurement system takes the robustness of the T-Ray® 5000 to a new level with the ability to operate in flammable atmospheres, such as paint booths or coating facilities. Designed to be robot mountable and intrinsically safe, the T-Gauge® SCS500n Online Sensor Solution CID1 SCS500n is optimized for use in spray booth applications but can be used in other applications as well. The working distance of the sensor head is fixed at 115 mm, but other working distances may be available upon request.

The T-Ray® 5000 LSG500n line scan gauge (LSG) provides a handheld solution for high-speed scanning of a line 50 mm or 75mm in length. The line scan image is displayed on the screen of the handheld tool and can be analyzed by dedicated software for specific applications. Current software solutions can provide layer thickness measurements, detection of voids, or alignment of body panels with measurement of the vertical and horizontal offset between them.

The T-Ray® 5000 SPG500n single point thickness measurement gauge allows direct measurement of multiple layer objects with the press of a button. The modular nature of the measurement tool allows either straight-on or right-angle measurement tips. By using pulse time-of-flight (ToF) to make its measurements, the SPG500n has greater insensitivity to environmental and material variations that can lead to calibration inaccuracies, as well as operator inconsistencies. The measurement is fundamentally non-contact, but for hand-held use, a measurement tip is used to aid the user in positioning the object at the focus of the THz beam.

1/2" Industrial Fluorescence Probes
Wavelength Range 200-2500 nm; Connector type SMA-905; Pressure Probe Head 10 bar @ 25°C; Temperature -30-100°C, HT version -30-200°CFor effective fluorescence measurement, Avantes offers this specially designed reflection probe. It features 12 excitation fibers of 200 μm surrounding a 600 μm read fiber, which transports the fluorescence signal back to the spectrometer. To convert the 45° reflection probe into a fluorescence probe, a special reflector accessory, FCR-FLTIP-IND, is attached to the probe end. This accessory prevents ambient light from entering the probe and backscatters the excitation light, thereby increasing the typically low fluorescence signal. The fluid channel path can be adjusted between 0 and 5 mm.Applications: Fluorescence measurement

Spectroscopy Rail; Collinear Adapter; Lens Options, T-Image Platform Luna’s T-Ray ASR5001 is the first compact pulsed terahertz measurement system that is robust enough to be deployed in an industrial environment and has all of the flexibility provided by Luna’s fiber-coupled sensor heads in a rack mount package. With Luna’s range of accessories and fixturing devices, the T-Ray® 5000 can be configured to fit your specific application. With its exceptionally long high-speed delay, the T-Ray® 5000 is ideally suited for spectroscopic investigations, providing spectral resolution down to 1.5 GHz at 100 Hz. The transmitter (HTS40nm) and receiver (HRS40n1) can be mounted on the T-Ray® ASR5001 spectroscopy rail to perform transmission spectroscopy measurements. A standard mount is provided to hold accessories or standard sample cards. The rail can accommodate lenses up to 150 mm working distance. An iris is provided on the sample holder to block any portions of the beam that may not be going through the sample. Tip-tilt stages provide easy optimization of the beam alignment to ensure maximum bandwidth. Using the T-Ray® 5000 AXA40n1 collinear adapter, transmitter and receiver can be coupled to perform as an integrated collinear reflection transceiver. Alignment pins provide precise positioning. The adapter has two ports for the lens, so it can be assembled as right or left-handed. Reflection measurements are easily acquired because the transmitter and receiver share the same lens. Spatial resolution down to 100 µm has been obtained using this arrangement with a 25.4 mm focal length lens. The transceiver is ideal for reflection tomography. When used with an HTS40nm and an HRS40n1, the assembled collinear transceiver based on ASR5001 or AXA40n1 will provide over 3.5 THz of bandwidth and SNR of 70 dB (ASR5001) or 60 dB (AXA40n1) respectively. The T-Ray® 5000 HTS/HRS Transmitters & Receivers come standard with a 38 mm diameter lens in an adjustable lens tube. In addition to that, Luna offers T-Ray® 5000 lens options ranging from 38.1 mm to 76.2 mm and 152.4 mm in diameter, with focal lengths ranging from 25.4 mm and 76.2 mm to 152.4 mm and 304.8 mm, plus a collimating lens. Here, the “focal length” is the distance from the lens surface to the beam waist. Lens tubes that mount on the transmitter or receiver are also available for 38.1 mm and 76.2 mm lenses. The lenses are manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and are manufactured to an aspheric profile for high-quality focusing across a wide range of frequencies. Luna has specifically designed these lenses for use with their fiber-coupled transmitter and receiver sensor heads. When mounted on the front of a transmitter, the lens will provide a collimated or a focused beam. Use relay lenses in conjunction with a collimating lens on the sensor head. The collinear adapter (AXA5001) and the integrated collinear transceiver (HXC50xn) are compatible with 38.1 mm diameter lenses. The T-Ray® 5000 MSL5201 T-Image platform can be positioned for horizontal or vertical scanning. The transmitter and receiver can be configured in transmission or collinear reflection geometry by using the collinear adapter. The MSL5201 can move at speeds up to 150 mm/s and can provide step resolutions below 30 µm. The motors are integrated with the required amplifier and encoder to allow high-quality images to be acquired at speeds up to 1000 pixels/s.

FODL Fault Locators
520 to 660 nm; Optical Power 0.5 to 30 mW; CW to 2 kHz; Connector Type Super/Angled NTT-FC/PC, SC, ST, Universal OZ Optics’ FODL series of visible fiber optic fault locators launches 635 nm visible laser diode light into the fiber. When light encounters a break or sharp bend, it scatters, and the scattered light can be observed emerging from the cable. Fault locators can locate breaks in short patchcords, which an OTDR cannot detect due to its operating dead zone. A fault locator is also much less expensive than an OTDR. However, they are not recommended for use with dark-colored or armored cables. Another use for fault locators is to check connector quality – inside the connector ferrule, poor gluing or dirt may create a micro bend in the fiber producing excess insertion or return losses and maybe resulting in premature failure of the connector. Launching visible light through the fiber, so that it emerges from the connector in question, the distortion appears as a series of rings superimposed on a normal output. Fault locators are available in bench-top, pocket and pen format. Pocket size fault locators can be operated in either CW or pulse modulation mode. Pen size fault locators are CW only. High power versions, available as bench-top units, are also CW only. Key Features: Pen, Pocket and Bench-top Versions Available High Visibility (up to 6 km with a 1 mW, 635 nm Source) Higher Output up to 30 mW, Non-contact Style Power Versions Available Continuous Light or Pulse Modulation Power Supply Alkaline Batteries or AC/DC Adapter Carrying Pouch with Belt Clip for Pocket-size Version 1.25 mm and 2.5 mm ID Universal Connector Receptacles Available Applications: Single Mode and Multi Mode Fiber Testing; Fiber Identifier Applications; Locating Breaks and Bends in Fibers and Connectors; Identifying Fibers and Tracing Optical Signals by Using Modulated Signals; Optimizing Splices
