Rods - Import export

Polypropylene rods are available in multiples of 1 metre lengths and require a brass adaptor to suit the 1/2" whitworth threads on many tube brushes. Alternatives sizes are available. Custom made rods and adaptors are available in most sizes.

Knight Optical can offer custom Rod Lenses for use within Optical Systems. We supply a range of custom & stock Rod lenses for a range of applications. All individually QA checked and metrology tested for quality to ensure parts meet customer specification. Supplied in a range of sizes and shapes with custom coatings tailored to meet your individual applications. Knight Optical supply precision optical components to customers with Optical systems. Rod Lenses are a special variant of cylindrical lenses so they focus light to a line. Rod lenses have an outside face that is polished and the ends are ground. Typical uses for rod lenses would be to generate a line image from a circular laser beam. Rod lenses can be cut at 45 degrees for use in beam steering and other similar applications.

Knight Optical can offer Custom Homogenizing Rods for use within Fluorescence Imaging. Knight Optical supply precision optical components to customers in the medical industry for applications such as fluorescence illumination, microscopy and imaging. Homogenizing Rods are used within the application of surgical procedures; within systems designed to help identify which tissues have been exposed to the fluorescent indicator. The Light source will enter a light pipe at a variety of incident angles, which is designed to utilise its total internal reflection to channel the light from the entrance of the light pipe to the exit. The material’s refractive index is the only factor which affects the light pipes critical angle; this defines the angle of acceptance which the total internal reflection will occur at. With this it helps to control the light source being used in medical systems. Read PDF for more info

Intense Pulsed Light Systems use not only use filters, that are used to filter out the UV wavelength range; and transmit between 400-1200nm for use within cosmetic lasers that are designed to remove unwanted hair, vascular treatment and even acne treatment. But they also use Homogenizing Rods to help evenly distribute light. The Light source will enter a light pipe at a variety of incident angles, which is designed to utilise its total internal reflection to channel the light from the entrance of the light pipe to the exit. The material’s refractive index is the only factor which affects the light pipes critical angle; this defines the angle of acceptance which the total internal reflection will occur at. All our Homogenizing Rods are fully inspected on their quality in our ISO 9001 certified, state-of-the-art Metrology laboratory, using our Trioptic’s PrismMaster, and Starrett AV300 Video Imaging System..

Robust Polypropylene rods are available in multiples of 1 metre lengths.

Flexible Rod belts are designed primarily for multi-tier spiral conveyors commonly used in the food industry. With the ability to side flex, the belt can also be used for conveyors arranged to go around obstacles.

Fluoroplastic tubing exhibits chemical, eletrical, temperature and non-stick properties, and solves problems possible with no other material. We offer fluoropolymer tubing in hundreds of standard sizes with a variety of wall thicknesses (including thin wall tubing). We also produce special custom fluoropolymer tubing. Our fluoroplastic tubing range: - PTFE Tubing - FEP Tubing - PFA Tubing - PVDF Tubing - EFTE Tubing - E-CTFE Tubing - Convoluted PTFE Tubing - Granular PTFE Tubing - ePTFE (Expanded PTFE) Tubing - Filled Fluoroplastic Tubing (including Carbon, Graphite and Ceramic fillers) - Printed Fluoroplastic Tubing For more information, visit the adtech.co.uk website or contact us: - t: +44 (0)1285 762000 - e: sales@adtech.co.uk
