Specialty Fiber Fusion Splicers FSM-100M+

AFL’s LZM-100 LAZERMaster is a glass processing and splicing system that uses a CO2 laser heat source rather than electrodes, ensuring repeatable performance and low maintenance, and eliminating electrode or filament maintenance and instability. Splicing or adiabatic tapering (to create mode field adapters or pump combiners) can be performed with glass diameters of 2.3 mm or less. The high resolution optical analysis system works in conjunction with on-board firmware for fully automatic splicing, tapering and other glass shaping processes.

The USC-03 is Ultrasonic Cleaner designed for the cleaning of optical fiber using the FH-40, 50, 60 and 100 series of Fujikura Fiber Holder. Timer switch and Cleaning Power Volume enable to edit cleaning program. By using this equipment the fiber can be cleaned after stripping without any physical contact.

The 90R12 is a mass fusion splicer capable of splicing up to 12 fiber ribbon cables simultaneously. In previous mass fusion splicer models, the v-grooves could become dirty over time due to debris and glass deposits from splicing accumulating in the v-grooves. Which in turn, could lead to fibre offsets and high losses if they were not regularly cleaned which added to the overall process time. The 90R12 comes with a first of its kind, innovative user replaceable V-groove assembly which makes this issue a thing of the past and is supplied as standard equipment with the 90R12 kit. This new V-groove assembly can be quickly and easily fitted in the field, minimizing downtime and maximising productivity. In addition, the new V-groove design enables splicing of both conventional type 12-fiber encapsulated ribbon and SWR (Spider Web Ribbon) whilst also accommodating 250um and 200um pitch fibers. The 90R12 can also splice single fibers if required. also making use of Active Blade Management Technology, which now can connect to two CT50 cleavers simultaneously.

Nyfors product. The AutoCleaver S2 is a modified version of the NYFORS automatic fiber cleaver, designed for the cleaving of air-clad fibers. It provides outstanding cleaving performance for fi bers from 125 μm up to 1000 μm in diameter. A unique and patent pending cleaving process generates typical cleave angles of less than 0.5 degrees.
