AutoCleaver The AutoCleaver is a fully automatic, ultra high precision fiber cleaver with a typical cleave angle of less than 0.3°. Designed for industrial applications where high accuracy, reliability and production yield are required, the AutoCleaver has a built-in microprocessor which controls all vital parameters and settings such as fiber positioning, clamping, fiber tension and the exact position and speed of the diamond blade. The cleaver can be connected to an external PC from which all programmable parameters and settings can be accessed.
AutoCleaverLDF
The AutoCleaverLDF is a high precision fiber cleaver designed for cleaving circular Large Diameter Fibers up to 1200µm. The unique and patent-pending cleaving process generates typical cleave angles of less than 0.5°. Cleaving performance is enhanced by the use of fiber handling kits optimized for a specific fiber dimension. With an automatic waste disposal system that removes hazardous fiber scraps, the cleaver is designed to generate minimum amounts of fiber waste, typically less than 20mm.
AutoCleaver S1
When a specific and accurate bare fiber length is required, the AutoCleaver S1 provides the perfect cleave every time. Sensing the edge of the coating and adjusting the bare fiber length according to the customers' specifications, the AutoCleaver S1 cleaves 80µm and 125µm fibers automatically. Cleave angles are typically under 0.3° with excellent end face quality.
AutoCleaver S2
The AutoCleaver S2 contains special fiber clamps with air pressure controlled clamping forces. Coupled with modified software, these features enable the AutoCleaver S2 to handle otherwise difficult-to-cleave fibers. The clamping force of the fiber clamps is set individually by changing the air pressure.
CleaveMeterLDF
The CleaveMeterLDF is a non-contact (Michelson) interferometer used to examine all types of large diameter fibers with a cladding diameter of 250-1200µm. The optical system consists of a CCD camera with two user-selectable magnifications. Connected to the USB-port of an external PC, parameters and settings are programmed from the PC.
AutoCoater
Designed for high strength applications, the AutoCoater protects splices of acrylate-coated optical fibers. With high productivity and low cost advantages, the AutoCoater is fully automatic, allowing for operator independence in factory environments.
MiniCoater
The MiniCoater restores the primary coating on spliced optical fibers with acrylate coatings. The fiber is automatically centered when it is inserted into the mould. Due to the mould design, the restored part of the coating retains almost the same diameter as the original coating.
Recoater 1
The Recoater 1 restores the primary coating on spliced optical fibers with acrylate coatings. Fiber is automatically centered when it is inserted into the mould. Due to the mould design, the restored part of the coating retains almost the same diameter as the original coating.
ProofTester
The ProofTester is ideal for optical fiber strength testing up to 20N. Compact and light weight, the ProofTester meets all types of applications where a strength test must be performed.
