Sensuron’s RTS125+ series of fully ruggedized, compact fiber optic sensing system delivers reliable measurements in today’s most demanding environments. Distributed sensing capabilities make it possible to measure different parameters using a single system. This simplifies the collection and monitoring of diverse measurements. Its compact size, robust enclosure and increased efficiency make it an appealing choice for demanding installations with stringent limitations on physical space and power consumption. By combining data from multiple fibers, the technology can provide 3D visualization of shape and strain.RTS125+ can simultaneously measure strain, temperature, deflection, 3D shape positioning and more—making vast amounts of data available in real time. In today’s world, success is increasingly predicated on the ability of an organization to obtain and interpret large quantities of data. The RTS125+ allows engineers across industries to gather the data they want, not just the data they can get.The RTS125+ hardware sensing system is about the size of a loaf of bread. Weighing just 13 pounds, the system is ideal for use in numerous applications where weight and power consumption are key factors. The RTS125+ processes information at rates up to 100 times per second, representing a 20-fold improvement over existing technologies. The sensing system can derive key measurements in addition to strain and temperature, including 3D shape, deflection, pressure, strength, stiffness (bending and torsion), liquid level, and operational load. The RTS125+ offers unprecedented levels of data intensity – each 13 m hair-like optical fiber provides up to 2,000 data points with adjustable spatial resolution.
