Double-Ended Fiber Optic Scribe, Sapphire

8oz Solvent Dispenser with Touch-and-Go Pump

Automated, Mid-span; Window Strip Length 2-150 mm; Fiber Coating Diameter ≤1,000 µm; Fiber Cladding 125-400 µm; Pulling Speed 20-100 mm/min The AutoStrip II is designed for fast, chemical free window stripping of optical fibers. Utilizing SAE Technologies’ patented “Burst Technology™”, this system accomplishes the often difficult task of window stripping fibers with acrylate coating diameters up to 1,000 µm. The AutoStrip II automated, mid-span window stripping unit meets the need for variable window strip lengths at high strength and ultra cleanliness. The proven Burst Technology™ method instantly vaporizes the fiber coating. The result is a clean, stripped fiber at substantially higher strength than any mechanical stripping method. The fiber is free of debris at 400x magnification. Equipped with a built-in, high-force fiber tensile tester, the AutoStrip II system can pull the fiber up to 20 N (235 kpsi). To ensure high quality, repeatability and high production yield, all critical processes and parameters such as stripping distance, burst temperature, burst speed, and strength test are controlled automatically by a built-in microprocessor. The AutoStrip II can be used as a stand-alone unit or integrated into different sub-systems. The use of chemicals for high-strength fiber stripping is now a thing of the past!

Rapid Loading of up to 19 Fibers; Fiber Fixtures for 700, 870 µm Outer Diameter & Custom; Air Gap Fiber Bundle/Capillary 10 µm; Fiber Cleaning With Ultrasound & Chemical; Separate Cleaning and Loading Stages; Onboard Heater 3SAE Technologies’ Capillary Speed Loader (CSL) facilitates rapid loading of up to 19 fibers into a capillary. Using the CSL, fiber bundles can be loaded into a capillary with as little as 10 μm of air gap between the bundle and the capillary. The CSL utilizes a funnel shaped capillary to hold the capillary during the fiber loading process. The system uses an ultrasonic cleaner in conjunction with acetone or chemical of choice, to lubricate and remove static from the fibers during the loading stage. The ultrasonic cleaner features one touch operation with a user adjustable cycle and visual and audible notifications. Two individual reservoirs facilitate separate cleaning and loading stages. The CSL also includes an onboard heater to expedite the evaporation process of the acetone after loading. The CSL Capillary Speed Loader includes standard fixturing for 700 μm and 870 μm outer diameter capillaries. Custom sizes are available on request.

Fiber Type Large Diameter (LD); Fiber Cladding 400-2,000 µm; Non-angle or Angle Polishing <0.30-15° Typ.; Cycle Time 1-3 min; Scrap Fiber Waste <2 mm Typ. Large diameter (LD) optical fibers are increasingly important in the development of new optical technologies. Cleaving these fibers presents many challenges, more so as the fiber diameter increases. Low angle offsets and smooth, flat end faces are required. Many fibers are non-round or have internal structures that interfere with conventional cleaving. With some fibers priced in hundreds of euros per meter, the length of cutoff scrap must be minimized. 3SAE Technologies’ EPS II End Face Preparation Station meets these challenges with a novel, polishing-based design that now features both flat and angle polishing. The results are consistent, even for shaped fibers. The end faces are flat and highly polished. EPS II is not an adapted connector polisher – it is a purpose-built large diameter (LD) optical fiber preparation unit optimized for splicing and other large diameter fiber termination applications. Choose from a selection of standard programs, or create and store a custom program for a specific fiber. Selectable programs ensure repeatable performance and the bright, clear LCD screen guides the user with the correct action for each step. No special skill or “touch” is required –the EPS II’s precision fixturing holds the fibers precisely, and the automated system lowers the fibers smoothly onto the adjustable-speed polishing plate. A filtered-air final cleaning/drying system is used to dry the fiber after cleaning in the included 3SAE Technologies Ultrasonic Cleaner, a purpose-built ultrasonic fiber cleaner that was designed specifically for fiber applications. Many years of splicing experience went into the functional, ergonomic design that ensures consistent cleaning results. When the preparation process is complete, the fiber end faces are flat, low-angle and ready for splicing. Less than 2 mm of scrap length means less wasted expensive fiber and allows more accurate placement of splices and components.
