Product Description

All of the T-Ray 5000® sensor heads or measurement tools are attached to the Terahertz Control Unit (TCU) by an umbilical that includes both electrical and optical connections. The specific form of the umbilical depends on the specific application.

Umbilicals for the TCU can be up to a total length of 45 m running length from the control unit to the sensor head.

Although the umbilicals are constructed with high flex applications in mind, over time, failures can occur. A junction box at the end of the scanning frame or robot arm, and an extension
umbilical from there to the control unit, can allow for replacement of the portion in the scanning frame without the need to pull the umbilical that runs to the control unit.
