LaserStrip-1500R Fiber Stripper

Product information "LaserStrip-1500R Fiber Stripper"

Integrated Viewing Camera; Window Strip Length 1-50mm, End Strip Length 1-15mm, Strip Length Tolerance ±0.2mm, Shoulder Transitions <500µm

OpTek Systems' LaserStrip production tools incorporate technology that has been integral to the high-performance, large-scale production of optical fiber components since the mid-1990s. These tools are meticulously engineered to cater to both existing and emerging generations of components, with a primary focus on maximizing productivity within a user-friendly platform.
The LaserStrip system employs a contact-free laser-stripping process to remove acrylate buffers from optical fibers. Configurable for up to 16-fiber ribbons, it accommodates window strip lengths of up to 50 mm and end strip lengths of up to 15 mm, all with precise dimensional control. Notably, the elimination of blades and any potential for glass abrasions renders this process exceptionally well-suited for ultra-high reliability (UHR) applications.

Key features:

  • Rapid, non-contact processing
  • Accurate and repeatable feature positioning
  • Eco-friendly manufacturing (chemical free)
  • Improve performance, increase yield, reduce manufacturing costs
  • Reliability due to the elimination of blades and glass abrasions
  • Ideal process for ultra-high reliability (UHR) applications
  • Accurate and repeatable strip length with clean and well-defined shoulder
  • High-throughput – less than 1 minute/ribbon including load and unload time
  • Ability for customer to modify strip length, scan speed, laser pulse repetition rate and duty cycle through integrated control panel
  • Class 1 enclosure with provisions for customer tooling used to hold fiber during processing
  • Fiber Compatibility: 12-Fiber 125µm Ribbon Acrylate Coated (16 Fiber Ribbon solutions available)

UBAR™ UV LED Flood Curing Systems
Homogeneous & Linear; Irradiance ≤500 mW/cm²; Wavelength 365, 385, 395, 405 nm; Power Supply 48 VDC, 160 W; Active Air Cooling With Fans The UBAR™ series of homogeneous & linear UV LED flood curing lamps has been designed by UWAVE for repeatable and large-area irradiation processes. Its homogeneity enables curing of larger areas and makes this series of UV LED flood curing systems suitable for a wide range of applications such as curing, bonding or photoaging. Thanks to its optical design, several UBAR™ systems can be added and arranged in series without shadowed areas to adjust lighting length to mechanical & optical specifications. Thus, optical length is adjusted in 200 mm unit increments to obtain long UV lines and to fit process needs. Available wavelengths include 365 nm, 385 nm, 395 nm, 405 nm and 465 nm. Any other wavelength (UV-C, UV-B, Visible and IR) is available upon request, please contact AMS Technologies for further details. For powering and controlling the UCUBE™ systems, UWAVE provides different types of UPOWER™ UV LED power supply & control units for different requirements. For better integration into automates manufacturing processes, a control module allows communication with the UBAR™ UV LED systems to prevent LED issues. In case of LED fault, the UBAR™ system will send out an error signal. It is also possible to control UBAR™ systems directly from the PLC (Programmable Logic Control) to facilitate integration into production lines. Many options are available such as temperature monitoring or the control of UV irradiance and time of exposure. In industrial environments, noise reduction is a growing issue. UWAVE developed the SMART BLADE™ technology to control fan speed in real time based on data provided by the UV LED source and thus minimize the noise. By optimizing its own temperature control, UBAR™ sources are guaranteed to be both stable and durable. The UBAR™ LED has a much higher output power stability than other technologies and does not emit infrared radiation, thus heat-sensitive materials can be processed. UV LEDs are eco-friendly as they do not create ozone, do not contain mercury and only need a few watts to operate. Key Features: 200 mm x 50 mm UV-emitting Window Can be Placed in a Row While Keeping Homogeneity Across the Whole Area Perfect Fit for Automated and Semi-automated Processes Easily Controllable With a PLC to Facilitate Integration into Production Lines Max.
