OPTICAL SENSORS FOR MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
Optical sensors for medical technology
Real ability shows with high
requirements
Medical technology with its high level of
automation demands a lot from the sensor
system used. The technical characteristics
of standard optical sensors are often not suf-
ficient for this. Especially high performance
in a very small installation space, robust
design and high versatility are the qualities
sought.
Whether it’s minimal installation size in a
cramped environment, dead-on optical preci-
sion or process-related chemical resistance
of the materials used – STM manufactures
a whole series of optical sensors that are
tailored to the very specific requirements in
medical technology.

u By contrast, STM optosensors from the MICROmote
family meet these requirements with ease. They may
appear similar to fibre optics but are far superior to
them. Integrated micro-precision optics in the sensor
heads shape the light beam and focus the light preci-
sely onto the object to be monitored. Without undesi-
rable side-effects.
