QuantumX MXFS: Integrating Optical and Electrical Measurements into One Reliable System

Overview
Downloads

QuantumX MXFS makes optical measurements easy, flexible and competitive – according to your needs. It provides you with all the optical benefits of the BraggMETER technology: suitable for measuring large sensing networks composed of various types of sensors, high strain and high resistance to fatigue, reliable and high-quality long-distance measurements, reduced cost and many more.

With the new MXFS BraggMETER, up to 16 Fiber Bragg Grating sensors can be connected in series to each of the eight optical connectors – with parallel acquisition. The new fiber optic sensing device offers, therefore, an impressive number of 128 channels per module with simultaneous acquisition.
Your benefits are obvious: a cost reduction not only per measuring point but also for overall ownership.

Two operating modes can be selected by the user:

  • Normal speed mode, with 100S/s acquisition rate, most suited for monitoring projects or thermal testing of components
  • High speed mode, with 2000S/s acquisition rate, most suited for dynamic monitoring or experimental stress analysis

QuantumX MXFS allows for the integration of an impressive number of precise and stable optical fiber measurements. FBG sensors are easy to install, electromagnetically safe and can also be used in highly explosive atmospheres. Measurement of strain, temperature, acceleration, load and tilt are all possible. With the integration of MXFS, the accuracy and the possible range of applications for your measurements increase.
