Fiber optic sensor assembly with element component shape and semi-custom specifications that can be installed on existing equipment!
Due to the nature of the product, it is necessary to consider and optimize dimensions to match the installation target. However, we offer a semi-custom sleeve and bolt-shaped sensor assembly product that includes several basic specifications that can also be used for evaluation. This eliminates the need for customers to design and manufacture similar sensor assemblies from scratch, contributing to a reduction in the construction period from consideration to practical use. Installation can also be retrofitted to existing equipment or objects, provided that the conditions allow for work outside of the manufacturing and assembly processes of the target object. Both products are designed for harsh field use and have high weather resistance, making long-term use possible. The sleeve sensor, in particular, is a unique product focused on monitoring the mechanical integrity of rotating shafts such as motors, engines, and turbines, and we also provide dedicated software, tools, and initial evaluation kits for this product.

Applications/Examples of results
The sleeve type is used for monitoring the health status (deformation, load, eccentricity, speed, torque, temperature) of rotating mechanisms such as wind turbine gearbox shafts and ship engine propeller shafts, as well as for monitoring the health status of heavy machinery with rotating mechanisms like winches and cranes. The bolt type is used for monitoring bolt tightness at key monitoring points in structures such as bridges, tower-type structures, and transmission line towers.
Company information
Our company started as a trading firm specializing in optical communication devices and subsystems based on optical and electronic applied technologies, with fiber optic sensing systems as our core business as a VAR and integrator. We operate in a wide range of industrial fields, from infrastructure and aerospace to automotive, medical, and consumer sectors. The name "First Light" derives from "dawn" and "first observation light" (as in astronomical telescopes), and we quickly deliver excellent technologies and products with "light" as a keyword to the market. Our core competencies are in electronic circuits and measurement, as well as optical communication and measurement technologies. In collaboration with partner companies, we are expanding our business areas, including software development and sensing data analysis, to flexibly respond to customer needs. Utilizing our network with over 40 advanced technology companies, primarily in Europe and the United States, we serve as a one-stop shop covering not only product sales but also system construction proposals, consultations, and contract testing and evaluation services for optical devices. Our important mission is to solve customer challenges and contribute to society through our business. 【Contact and request for materials: sales@firstlight-inc.com】
