Fiber Optic Rotational Mini Sensor

FORMS is the next generation of fiber optic sensor technology, allowing you to measure the absolute angle position with high resolution and accuracy down to less than a tenth of a degree. With FORMS, it is finally possible to implement optical sensor networks in all of your feedback and control applications.
