AGISEN

Fibre Optic Systems
AGISEN can design, manufacture and test
your fibre optic system. From standard
telecomms fibre to large core polyimide
or even gold-coated optical fibre AGISEN
has a wealth of experience in fibre system
design, manufacture and testing. e.g. the
image shows a patch panel for both
single-mode and large-core multimode,
polyimide-coated fibre developed for a
customer.
Mechanical Prototyping
In-house design and prototyping facilities
enable low-cost and fast realisation of concept
designs and sensor deployment systems.
Bespoke Fibre Optics
With our innovative design approach
we can change perceptions about what is
achievable.The image left shows part of
a fibre optic sensor development which
placed 27 aligned Tx/Rx fibre collimators
across the diameter of a car piston in
a gasket only 5mm thick. The self-
sealing collimator design enabled multi-
hour test bed operation at 6000rpm.
Fibre Optic Sensors
AGISEN has a wealth of knowledge in the
development of novel optical fibre sensors.
From Fabry-Perot acoustic sensors designed
to operate at 700°C, to dual-channel
singlemode fibre probes where the fibre
is turned through 90° or micro-balloon
base optical pressure sensors less than
the size of a pinhead, if we don't already
have a solution to your sensing needs our
innovative design approach will enable the
development of one.
Fibre Bragg Technologies
With 20 years of experience in providing
FBG technology solutions across different
industrial sectors we can provide:
* Evaluation of application suitability.
* Design and provision of COTS systems.
* Development of custom systems.
* FBG sensor packaging design.
* FBG sensor validation & sales.
* FBG system troubleshooting services.
* Robust cabling solutions & fixtures.
Small-scale Manufacturing
Rifle-mounted optical pulse training system
for the MOD. An example of both small-
scale manufacture and, in this case,
initial concept verification, prototype
development and design-for-manufacture.
Developed in collaboration with a major
MOD contract supplier. Complex laser safety
case developed inline with military
standards.
Electronic Design
AGISEN provides a range of in-house electronic
design services. For example this images shows
the layout of a fibre optic, dual channel optical
measurement system. This measurement concept
was developed in collaboration with AWE
Aldermaston, prototyped, performance evaluated
and designed for one-of manufacture. A high
level of cutomer participation in the design
process lead to a final product that met and
exceeded the initial design requirement.
Magnetic Mounts
Low-cost development and small-scale build
programme aimed at producing a magnetic
mounting system capable of holding measuring
instruments onto curved pressure vessels.
Capable of withstanding high levels of vibration
and shock this design concept can be easily
extended to larger mass objects. Fabrication
tooling was designed to facilitate simple design
variants while using standard parts.

Solving Sensing & Measurement Problems; Delivering Solutions

Dry Air Supply (DAS) is a new compressed air drying technology aimed at small compressor users. It is the first step on the ladder when it comes to improving the dryness of your compressed air. DAS removes all liquid water from the air before it is stored in the main receiver and ensures that no further water is produced in the system pipwork and components. It provides a load independent supply of water-free air. For more info click here.

AGISEN solves difficult sensor mounting problem. Through the use of kinematicaly designed mounts and powerful magnets a robust, easy to fix component mounting system was developed to attach small electrical devices to curved surfaces.
