NOVA GEO™ PIC Waveguide & Array Polishing System

Product information "NOVA GEO™ PIC Waveguide & Array Polishing System"

Processing System for Polishing of Waveguides, PICs, PLCs, and Fiber Arrays

The adaptable processing platform of NOVA GEO™ enables it to polish a range of components including waveguides, PIC optical chips, PLCs, and fiber arrays. The angles of polished endfaces can be adjusted from 0 to 50 degrees using either manual or automated workholder stages. Additionally, GEO™ features an adjustable component mounting plate to accommodate varying edge widths and thicknesses.

Optional video inspection systems are available to monitor the polishing process and directly inspect the polished surface within GEO™. This in-line viewing capability reduces material handling and provides a way to verify endface geometry prior to component removal from the machine.

Applications: Polishing of components, such as waveguides, PIC optical chips, PLCs, and fiber arrays

ACP-24 Mass Connector Polisher
Max. No. of Connectors 48; Connector Type ST, FC, SC, APC, MTP, SMA, E2000, Other; Radius of Curvature 7-30 mm; Apex Offset <50 µm; Undercut/Protrusion <50 nm; Back Reflection -35—65 dB; Automated Fiber Stub Removal Nanometer Technologies’ ACP-24 is an automated connector polisher with touchscreen technology for easy use and includes an ASR automated stub removal fiber optic polisher. The ACP-24 can polish many types of industry-standard, military and custom connectors. The system easily accommodates a full range of industry standard polishing styles to accommodate single mode polish specs like PC, UPC, APC, FLAT, and DOMED. With the ACP-24 you can automate fiber stub removal, polishing times, pressure and motor speeds for each step. Complete polishing procedures are stored inside of the ACP-24 to save time and ensure repeatability. Create, save, and recall custom polishing procedures for custom jobs. Polishing procedures can be saved to a computer for easy back-up or for transferring to another ACP-24. The ACP-24 utilizes Nanometer Technologies’ patented figure 8 polishing pattern that creates an angle of attack on the connector end face that changes 720°, 60 times a second, giving optimal control of the connector end face geometry. Use the ACP-24 to polish a wide variety of connectors including: ST, FC, SC, APC, MTP (up to 72 fibers), Mil 29504, Mil 38999, SMA, E2000, Radial Luxcis, T-Foca, bare fiber, bare plastic & many more. Polish a wide variety of ferrule material including all types of ceramic, glass, stainless steel, plastic, bare fiber, bare plastic, titanium & several others. The ACP-24 features a pneumatic pressure system, which allows for flexibility that is required to attain consistent accurate results The system is compatible with all MCP-24 polishing fixtures, supporting up to 48 connectors at a time. It includes the ASR System for automated stub removal – no more removing fiber stubs by hand. ASR works with Nanometer Technologies' polishing fixtures reducing the need to purchase special fixture plates and includes built-in pre-programmed processes.

ASR-24 Fiber Stub Removal System
Connector Type All; No. of Connectors 24; Process Time <35 s; Programmable RPM Ramp Generator; Dimensions 368x191x191 mm The ASR-24 fiber stub removal system features an automatic stub removal process exclusively from Nanometer Technologies. This process will remove the fiber stub from the connector end face in a seamless process, 24 at a time, in under 35 s. Instead of doing all fiber stub removal by hand, grinding down the fiber stub one by one for each connector, ASR-24 allows you to remove the fiber stub from up to 24 connectors in 35 s or less – a serious decrease in time and labor for this process. The ASR-24 not only removes the fiber stubs and epoxy, it will also help streamline and shorten your polishing processes on your polisher. You can be sure all the connectors are the same length when put into your polisher for polishing. Key Features: Remove 24 Fiber Stubs at a Time Less Than 35 s for Removing 24 Fiber Stubs (Minus Load Time) Touchscreen Technology for Easy Use Programmable RPM Ramp Generator for Controlling Motor Speed Available for All Connector Types No More Removing Fiber Stubs by Hand Dimensions: 368 x 191 x 191 mm Weight: 4.5 kg Applications: Removing up to 24 Fiber Stubs from Fiber Optical Connectors in One Process Step
