Lightguides

How do you get light exactly where you need it? With the right light guide, and Moritex will help you determine which one that is. We have standard light guides ranging from straight light guides to the more exotic. In addition, Moritex is happy to work with you to develop specialty light guides for OEM applications. In this section you will see exactly what we can offer you.

FEATURES
Heat-Resistant Light Guides
The normal heat resistance ranges for multi-component glass fiber, quartz fiber, and plastic fiber light guides are -40°C to 180°C, -40°C to 180°C, and -40°C to 80°C respectively. However, on request, Moritex can manufacture light guides with increased resistance to cold and heat.
Moisture-Resistant Light Guides
Standard Moritex light guides are not manufactured to withstand high humidity. At 130°C, 100% humidity, 2kg/cm pressure, a light guide will have a light capacity of less than 5% after 20 hours. As an option, Moritex can manufacture light guides using autoclaveable fibers. Under similar conditions, these light guides will have a light capacity over 90% after 100 hours.
Heavy Duty Light Guides
For extremely demanding applications, Moritex has designed optional heavy duty light guides. The specially-designed internal structure and fiber coating of these light guides help improve the light guides’ durability by more than 10 times that of a standard light guide.
Chemical-Resistant Light Guides
For applications where chemical resistance is important, Moritex can provide light guides with special structures and components which increase chemical resistance.
Extended-Length Light Guides
Quartz fiber should be specified for light guides over 5m long.
