Exploring Core Fibre Optic Components

Single & Furcated Light Guides

These are used where uniform light distribution is essential. Designed for consistency and minimum loss, they’re ideal for machine vision and diagnostic devices.

Ring Lights 

Delivering 360º shadow-free, high-intensity illumination, these fibre optic ring lights are frequently deployed in inspection systems and microscopes for even lighting.

Goosenecks

Flexible, durable, and available in single or dual-arm options, goosenecks with swaged end ferrules offer targeted lighting for assembly lines and micro-manipulation

Back Lights

Ideal for silhouette lighting and component inspection, back lights feature a standard bundle length suitable for most machine vision setups.

Light Lines

Available in varying lengths and profiles, these create linear illumination for scanning, label verification, and precise industrial inspections.

Market Applications of Non-Telecom Optical Fibre

  • Machine Vision & Automation: High-precision lighting for industrial quality checks.
  • Medical Imaging: Fibre-based lights enable non-invasive diagnostics.
  • Automotive Assembly: Ring and line lights support robotic accuracy.
  • Research & Laboratories: Custom guides for controlled light experiments.

Consumer Electronics: Miniature lighting modules for compact spaces.

FAQs

Optical fibre manufacturing involves creating fibres that guide light efficiently. In non-telecom applications, such as machine vision and lighting, the focus is on illumination rather than data transmission. These fibres are designed for uniformity, minimal loss, and targeted output, which differ from telecom-grade fibres optimised for long-distance communication.

Fibre optic lighting offers precision, minimal heat at the output point, and excellent light control. It’s ideal for environments where electrical components cannot be placed near the target area. Benefits also include flexibility, long life, and reduced maintenance, especially in compact or hazardous environments.

Yes. Dynotech offers both standard and fully custom-designed fibre optic solutions. With our vast component library and advanced fabrication capabilities, we can tailor product dimensions, bundle configurations, end fittings, and coatings to meet specific project requirements.

Industries such as medical devices, automotive, industrial automation, aerospace, and research benefit significantly. These sectors rely on precise, reliable light delivery where traditional lighting fails due to size, heat, or complexity constraints.

Our collaboration with Fiberoptics Technology Inc. ensures that all products adhere to global standards. Each component undergoes rigorous testing for transmission efficiency, durability, and mechanical performance. We also ensure rapid prototyping, transparent sourcing, and batch-wise performance reports.

Light guides are fibre bundles designed to deliver uniform illumination from a light source to a target area. They’re commonly used in machine vision systems, medical imaging devices, and automated inspection stations where consistent lighting is critical

Ring lights offer circular, shadow-free lighting around an object, while gooseneck lights offer directional flexibility. Ring lights are ideal for even illumination, whereas goosenecks allow specific lighting angles, making them useful in adjustable or tight-space applications.

Yes. Dynotech caters to both prototyping needs and large-scale OEM manufacturing. We offer flexible supply models that include batch deliveries, volume discounts, and post-installation support for industrial-scale deployments.

Absolutely. Our lighting solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with modern machine vision cameras and software systems. This ensures proper illumination, high-contrast imaging, and consistent throughput in automated inspections.

Yes, depending on the material and coating. Dynotech offers solutions like glass fibre bundles and protective sheaths that allow use in hot zones, chemically reactive spaces, and restricted access areas.
