Fiber-Optic Gyroscopes (FOGs): Precision alignment ensures accurate angular velocity measurements in aerospace and navigation systems. Solution: Use vacuum chucks and non-contact grippers to avoid deformation. Fiber optic systems rely on total internal reflection to transmit light, requiring precise alignment of fiber cores (typically 9 µm for single-mode, 50/62. Misalignment causes: Insertion Loss: Light escaping the core reduces signal strength. Back Reflection: Disrupts laser. Our fiber optic termination kits, inspection tools, and cleaning supplies allow both lab and field technicians to complete reliable assembly of fiber optic systems. Our termination kits, for example, are equipped with all of the necessary tools — pin and socket polishing tools, jacket strippers. Fiber alignment tools are essential for taking precise measurements at high speed. Configurable for labs or production — balancing speed, accuracy, and repeatability in setups ranging from standard.
