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)

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
