[Free sample available] The optical fiber is protected by a metal tube, making it highly resistant to environmental conditions and easy to install.
Pico sensing refers to an optical sensing system that utilizes a metal tube fiber optic sensor called "Pico Sensor." 【Advantages of General Optical Sensing Systems】 ◎ No need for dedicated power supply or signal lines for sensors ◎ No influence from electromagnetic noise ◎ High corrosion resistance and long lifespan due to the glass medium ◎ Usable in explosive atmospheres 【Advantages of the Pico Sensing System】 ■ Flexible selection of sensor types based on the usage environment → The casing material and structure can be freely chosen according to the usage environment, allowing for optimal sensor design ■ Flexible selection of sensor types based on application (including measured physical quantities and resolution) → Comprehensive product specifications for distributed and multipoint types ■ The casing is primarily a metal tube structure, making it easy to attach to the measured object → Mechanical clips and resin bonding are possible, accommodating the realization of installation methods ■ By using heat-resistant optical fibers, temperature sensors capable of measuring up to 500°C can be supplied ■ Easy customization for both distributed and multipoint types ■ Consistent support as an optical system integrator → Support from selection of measuring instruments to sensor design and manufacturing, planning and guidance of installation methods, design and construction of measurement application software, and operation management of measurement systems.

Company information
Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation Welding Industry Division began developing metal tube optical fibers by applying welding material manufacturing technology in 1984, with the concept of "optical fibers that can be handled like electric wires," inserting optical fibers into thin, unseamless metal tubes. In 1988, they started selling the product under the name "PICOLOOP." Since then, they have responded to customer needs by releasing products such as "PicoFlex," which can be flexibly bent, and the portable "PicoDrum." Furthermore, recently, they have utilized the characteristic of optical fibers themselves acting as sensors, contributing to the construction, management, and maintenance of social infrastructure, as well as disaster prevention and security, thereby enhancing safety, security, and comfort in society.
