1Cure Epoxy Curing Oven

Product information "1Cure Epoxy Curing Oven"

No. of Connectors 24-36; Resolution 0.1 °C; Accuracy ±2 °C; Max. Temperature +155 °C; Stability ±2 °C; Horizontal Curing 0°, +15°, -15°; Step-Cure Capability

Connected Fibers’ patented 1Cure is the industry’s first intelligent expoxy curing oven for both horizontal and vertical curing applications. The 1Cure oven features both soak and ramp temperature profile curing capability, a 4” full-color LCD touchscreen as well as network connectivity with remote programmability and access

The system stores up to 999 programs. The temperature of the actual connector fixture is monitored and controlled rather than the traditional method of monitoring the hot plate. This eliminates the temperature error created by the thermal offset between these two surfaces in a typical curing oven. 1Cure is also available with an optional advanced cooling system for reducing cycle times between ramp (step) cure profiles.

The ramp cure technology eliminates fiber cracking especially on larger core fibers by utilizing ramp and soak cycles. This significant advancement is useful for large-core and multi-fiber applications. It also allows to standardize on one epoxy for various applications by customizing time and temperature profiles.

The oven features a horizontal curing base with a removable 24 position fixture for MT (MPO) and a convertible lid providing cable access to a block to accommodate up to 96 single fiber termini (72 for the 1Cure-200) to cure in a vertical position. The internal 15° tilt mechanism for the horizontal cure will allow for 0° or 15° curing angle to prevent fibers from retreating during bare, buffered or ribbon fiber applications.

The 1Cure is designed by Connected Fibers to meet all industry performance and safety standards providing leading technology for the heat curing process of fiber optic termini. The oven is suited for all production environments and for all industry standard connectors and ferrules with use of heat-cure epoxies, including MT (MPO) connectors.

Ox-RAC-08 Angled Ribbon Fiber Cleaver
Manual Angled Cleaving of Ribbon Fiber; Fiber Type SM Ribbon Fiber; Fibers in Ribbon 1-12; Fiber Diameter 125 µm; Cleave Angle 8° (±2°); Cleave Length 8-13 mm Oxford Fiber’s Ox-RAC-08 is the right tool for angled cleaving of multiple optial fibers in a ribbon. This ability is truly unique and of great use to customers who want to connect optical fibers to planar optical waveguides such as lasers, detectors and splitters. The device’s cleave angle of 8° (±2°) is highly repeatable. The single mode (SM) ribbon fiber is clamped at two points and bent down onto a sharp diamond blade. The optical fiber is cleaved so that its single mode core is at an angle of 8° from perpendicular so that the back-reflection is reduced. If you require a cleaver for any other fiber type or a custom cleaver tailored to your specifications, please get in touch with the AMS Technologies fiber cleaving experts. Key Features: Staple Action for Easy Use Rugged Construction for Field Use 3.5mm Diamond Blade for Extended Life, Replaceable Blades Integrated Offset Bin Benchtop and Handheld Operation Easy Fiber Loading Using Custom Holder or “Oxford” Holder Compatible With Ribbon Mechanical Splice and MPO Connectors Fiber Diameter: 125 μm (SM, Single Mode Fiber) Fibers in Ribbon: 1 to 12 Cleave Length: 8 mm to 13 mm (Set by Holder) Cleave Length Variation: 1 ±20 μm in Ribbon Cleave Angle: 8° (±2°) Blade Life: >2000 Ribbons Cleaved (Blade Replaceable) Dimensions (max): 67 mm x 40 mm x 79 mm long Weight: 250 g Applications: Pigtailing Fiber Ribbons to Opto-electronic Devices such as Laser Arrays, Detector Arrays and Planar Waveguides
