What is fiber optic rotary joints(FORJ)/Fiber optic slip rings?
A fiber optic rotary joint (FORJ), also call as a fiber optic slip ring, which allows the transmission of optical signals across a rotating interface where optical fibers need to be connected between stationary and rotating parts of a system, while maintaining ongoing signal transmission.
The basic function of the FORJ is to provide a reliable and low-loss connection to enable the transmission of high-speed optical signals without interruptions or signal degradation. The construction of a FORJ typically involves a combination of lenses, fiber connectors, and specialized components designed to maintain fiber alignment and minimize losses caused by rotation. The main challenges of FORJs is not taking excessive signal loss, crosstalk, or damage to the fiber optic cables.
The applications of FORJ is in various industries, including aerospace, defense, marine systems, robotics, and telecommunications etc, such as in radar systems, optical sensors, surveillance systems, medical imaging devices, and cable reels….
As a leading fiber optic rotary joint manufacture, Beyo Ttransfer becomes possible to transmit high-bandwidth signals, such as video, data, and control signals, across rotating interfaces without the need for electrical contacts or wireless transmission. This makes FORJs a reliable and efficient solution for many applications that involve rotating machinery or systems.
