Nyfors AutoCoater 2 SC

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 CT52 is designed for cleaving silica fiber with 125μm cladding diameter, specially for its short length cleaving capability. Minimum 3mm cleave is possible by up to 900μm fiber coating, while the coating to be clamped.

AFL’s PowerCleave combines the precision of an ultrasonic cleaver with the ease and improved fiber management of the Fujikura fiber holder system. The PowerCleave™ utilizes the tensile stress method to avoid touching or damaging the bare glass surface during cleaving, ensuring highly robust, reliable and durable splice results. The PowerCleave provides consistent flat ends even at cleave lengths as short as 3 mm. Specially designed for use with Fujikura’s specialty market splicers, this advanced cleaving system allows for more reliability and greater splicing consistency with less dependence on operator technique.

The ReCoater 2 is used to restore the protective coating on acrylate coated optical fibers in high strength applications. Molds are available in different sizes to cover a range of coating diameters and can easily be exchanged by the operator with no realignment required. Custom molds are available upon request.
