Blair owned one of the largest independent electro-optic suppliers in Europe. He has now started BBN International to address the re-emerging fibre-optic markets of datacom, telecom, aerospace and sensors. An Electronic Engineer, Blair developed marine satellite communication and medical image analysis systems going on to develop a software business. BBN International is based in rural Shropshire and is committed to changing the way companies do business to the benefit of the environment. The FiBO quickly and accurately maps the 3D end face form and finish of fibre optic connectors. This enables:
- Visual defect inspection
- Automatic 3D measurements including apex offset, radius of curvature fibre protrusion/undercut and roughness
- Full 2D defect analysis including scratch and dig
At just 165mm tall and 80mm in diameter, the FiBO 250 has a very small footprint. The compactness of its design contributes to its vibration insensitivity.
A series of kinematic adapters makes switching between different PC or APC connectors fast and guarantees precise positioning.
The FiBO uses non-contact phase shifting interferometry to automatically and quickly capture the connector end face 3D map. This technique is inherently accurate and occasional calibration ensures it meets international standards.
