ProCleave LD II Large Diameter Fiber Cleaver

Product information "ProCleave LD II Large Diameter Fiber Cleaver"

Automatic LD Fiber Cleaver; Fiber Cladding Diameter 125-550 µm; Typ. Cleave Angle <0.5°; Ultrasonic Diamond Scribe Technology; Supports Fujikura, Fitel, 3SAE Technologies Fiber Holders

NorthLab’s ProCleave LD II is an automatic and highly advanced fiber cleaver for large diameter fibers up to 550 μm. The cleaver is specifically designed for use in production lines where ease-of-use, process speed and a high production yield is crucial. The cleaver is at the same time well suited for R&D environments.

ProCleave LD II generates very flat end-faces and low cleave angles (typical <0.5°) with a high repeatability. To achieve optimal cleave performance and consistency all crucial parameters are automatically monitored and controlled.

The ProCleave LD II cleaver features an unique and universal clamping mechanism which is self-adjusting to the fiber diameter applied, no external parts or accessories are required. The system can be programmed with four different cleave programs, easily selectable by the touch panel.

ProCleave LD II is powered from an external power supply or the built-in rechargeable battery.

AutoStrip II Window Stripping Unit
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! Key Features: Chemical-Free (No Cleaning or Stripping Chemicals Required) Easy, Low-maintenance Bench-top Design Fast Cycle Time & High First-pass Yield Accommodates Acrylate Coating Fiber Diameters up to 600 μm (Custom Nozzles up to 1,000 μm) Variable Window Strip Lengths From 2 up to 150 mm Fiber Cladding: 125 to 400 μm Fiber Strength: Typical >35 N on 125 μm Fiber Fiber Cleanliness: Free of Debris at 400x Magnification Built-in High-force Linear Tensile Tester, Tensile Strength: 0 to 20 N Pulling Speed: 20 to 100 mm/min, Hold Time: 0 to 5 s Power Supply: 115 to 230 V AC Compressed Air: External Compressor, 95 psi - 5 SCFM Flow PC Interface: RS232C Software-adjustable Parameters Automated Fiber Clamps Built-in Graphical LCD Control Storage of up to 10 Programs Dimensions: 465 x 315 x 225 mm Application: Automated, Mid-span Window Stripping of Optical Fibers With Acrylate Coating Diameters up to 1,000 µm
