Features
Cooling of OEM Sensors: Heat Sinking
Many of Ophir’s OEM power sensors have a maximum average power specification of “XX watts free standing, YY watts heat sinked.” In this video, you will learn some guidelines for making sure that a sensor has been provided with proper heat sinking so it does not get damaged.
OEM Laser Power Meter and Sensor
In this video, Jimmy Green, Ophir OEM Specialist, explains how Ophir can solve laser measurement challenges if a solution cannot be found from the hundreds of products in our catalog.
Clarifications: Range Selection, Measurement Duration
Sometimes, even experienced users of laser measurement equipment come across some issues that, although basic, need to be clarified. This video reviews 2 such issues: (1) selection of correct range when it's not quite obvious (and what happens if one goes over range), and (2) how long a measurement duration may be.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Sensor Finder does not find a match for my application. Is there the possibility to create an OEM sensor for my application?Answer
Yes, we have the ability to rapid prototype standard OEM sensors to help with custom applications where an off the shelf sensor does not fill the requirement.
- Do I need to recalibrate my instrument? How often must it be recalibrated?Answer
Unless otherwise indicated, Ophir sensors and meters should be recalibrated within 18 months after initial purchase, and then once a year after that.
- What is the dynamic range of OEM sensors?Answer
In general, the dynamic range over a given range, i.e. the ratio of maximum useable power to minimum useable power of Ophir thermal OEM sensors is 40:1. If greater dynamic range is desired, Ophir OEM RS232 sensors are available with several selectable ranges.
