Position and Presence Check of Connector Components via Fiber-Optic Sensors

When manufacturing plug connectors for high-voltage on-board electrical systems of electric and hybrid vehicles, they must be checked for their presence and correct position. Since these components are often asymmetrical and have different colors depending on the type, fiber-optic sensors are used. With the help of two checkpoints, they ensure that a component is in the feed and that it is correctly aligned. Their compact format makes them ideal for tight installation situations and in areas where only very little space is available for querying.

Fiber-Optic Sensors

Fiber-optic sensors are ideal for detecting small parts. They use plastic or glass fiber-optic cables, which can also be used in hard-to-reach places due to their high flexibility. Plastic or glass fiber-optic cables are connected to fiber-optic sensors for use in applications with limited space or high temperatures. They offer advantages such as high sensitivity, quick response time and robustness.
