NOVA Profile Inspection Module

Product information "NOVA Profile Inspection Module"

Profile Inspection Microscope Module for NOVA™ Polishing System

As an option for its NOVA™ automated polishing system, KrellTech offers video inspection systems to monitor the polishing process and inspect the polished surface directly in NOVA™.

KrellTech’s NOVA™ profile videoscope allows the real-time monitoring of component polishing. This videoscope aids with bare fiber/component positioning and confirms process completion. Teamed with measurement software, this system verifies the endface geometry of a broad range of photonics components, from optical fibers, waveguides and arrays all the way to inspecting the results of PIC (Photonic Integrated Circuits) post production processing

Applications: Inspecting and verifying the polishing process and the endface geometry of optical fibers, waveguides, arrays and PICs

Manufacturer "KrellTech"
Founded in 1995, KrellTech develops advanced polishing and inspection systems that streamline the entire termination and production process for a multitude of optical applications in fields ranging from telecom to medical, sensing to avionics. KrellTech’s extensive fiber optic experience covers all optical termination disciplines from connectorization through polishing and final testing for bare fiber, connectors and waveguides. Responding to diverse market needs, the company creates solutions that address a range of application requirements from high volume production to the stringent demands of harsh conditions found in industrial and aerospace environments. KrellTech’s patented approach to optical component processing combines polishing with in-line inspection techniques for immediate quality feedback, reduced material handling and increased throughput. Merging several independent production steps, process time is decreased, labour minimized, traceability assured and quality control is maximized.

POP-311 Portable Polishers
High-speed, Portable Polisher for Field Assembly; Connector/Ferrule Type SC, MU, FC, LC, MT, MTRJ, Custom; Radius of Curvature 10 to 25 mm; Apex Offset <50 µm; Return Loss >50 dB NTT Advanced Technology’s POP-311 series of high-speed portable polishers is suitable for installing optical connectors or extending optical fibers at field work site. Its cylinder jig allows for on-site polishing / re-polishing of MPO connectors and single fiber connectors. High polishing quality equivalent to that of factory use polishers can be achieved. The POP-311 high-speed portable polishers are able to polish connectors at very high velocity – up to 700 revolutions per minute. The POP-311 series is also suitable for re-polishing of MT connectors. When optical fiber connectors due to be laid are found to be damaged, on the spot repolishing makes them ready to be used. Also, LC-Duplex connectors can be simultaneously polished without dismantling. With only three to five processes, polishing MPO connectors and single fiber connectors can easily be done on location. For example, the polishing procedure from adhesive removal to advanced PC polish takes about 150 seconds (SC connector/terminal), while advanced PC polish by re-polishing takes only about 50 seconds (SC connector/terminal). Applicable connectors/ferrules are SC, MU, FC, LC, MT and MTRJ type optical connectors and glass ferrules. A broad range of attachments is available for the various different connector types. Since the attachments are the same as for the factory use ATP-3000 polishing machine, they can be used for a wide range applications such as MPO connectors and single fiber connectors (UPC/APC), and polishing of all types of capillaries and fibers. Widely accessible rechargeable nickel hydride battery (AA) or alkaline dry battery (AA) can be used as power supply. Key Features: Suitable for MT, MTRJ, SC, MU, FC and LC Connectors High Quality- Battery Operated High Speed Polishing Applications: Optical Connector Polishing (for re-polishing and new polishing processes)
