MBI-450S Asahi Kasei PMMA Plastic Optical Fiber for Sensing
The MBI-450S MBI-500S MBI-750 sensing fiber from Asahi Kasei is a flexible polymer light guide used to build presence, position, level and through-beam optical sensors.
JINSHANG TECH supplies the MBI-450S MBI-500S MBI-750 as a production item; fiber diameter, jacketing, connectorization and length can be confirmed against the specification before ordering.
Key Characteristics
- Outer jacket: PE
- Operating temperature range: -55~80Degree
- IP68 ingress protection for damp or wash-down environments
- Standard length: 500m/roll
- Certified to RoHS,ISO9001
- Tight bend radius routes light into compact mechanisms and small enclosures
- Immune to EMI and safe around high-voltage and high-noise machinery
- Passive sensing tip — no electronics or voltage required at the measurement point
Typical Applications
The MBI-450S MBI-500S MBI-750 is commonly used for through-beam and reflective presence/position sensors in machines. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What affects sensing range? A: Fiber diameter, bend radius, head geometry and the amplifier's optical power set the detection distance; larger cores generally collect more light.
Q: Is it affected by motor noise? A: No. Because the signal is light, EMI and RFI from motors, contactors and inverters do not couple into the fiber.
Q: How is POF used in a sensor? A: Light is launched through the fiber to a sensing head; the returned or interrupted light is measured by a remote amplifier, keeping electronics away from the target.
Q: Can the sensing end be placed near high voltage? A: The fiber is non-conductive, so the sensing tip carries no electrical potential and is safe in high-voltage areas when the amplifier is mounted remotely.
