High Fiber Cleaving Strength; Fiber Cladding Diameter 80-250 µm; Typ. Cleave Angle <0.5°; Ultrasonic Diamond Scribe Technology; Supports Fujikura, Fitel, 3SAE Technologies Fiber Holders NorthLab’s ProCleave HS is an advanced electronic fiber cleaver for fibers with a cladding diameter of up to 250 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 HS is utilizing an advanced ultrasonic diamond scribe technology to achieve optimal cleave performance and consistency. The cleaver generates very flat end-faces, low cleave angles (typical <0.5°) with minimum blade intrusion. ProCleave HS has a clamping mechanism which is designed for ease of use and with process speed in mind. The system is powered from an external power supply or the built-in rechargeable battery. The cleaver is used together with a fiber holder from a fusion splicer (adapted for all main splicer brands).

For Fiber Holders or Connectors; Fiber Cladding/End Face Diameter 125-270 µm; FOV ~800 µm; Sensor CMOS Monochrome; Resolution 2560x1920; Interface & Power Supply USB 3.0 NorthLab´s ProView LD™ series are highly advanced interferometers for precise measurement and inspection of fiber end faces with cladding diameters from 125 to 720 μm. These interferometers are specifically designed for production lines where a simple, fast and very accurate end face inspection is required. The ProView LD series is also well suited for R&D environments and for fiber cleaver or connector maintenance purposes. ProView LD interferometers are available in two variants for either fiber holders or connectors. ProView LD for fiber holders has a unique fiber clamping mechanism which can accommodate standard fiber holders from Fitel or Fujikura but also allows the use of bare fibers. This ProView LD model is delivered with a universal sized v-groove clamp assembly, while the ProView LD for connectors is delivered with a pre-mounted standard SMA, FC/PC, ST/PC or LD80 connector holder. Custom made clamps or adapters can be offered on request. In many cases an interferometric fringe pattern can be very complicated to analyze and understand. For ease of use and optimal inspection speed the ProView LD interferometers includes highly advanced and fully automatic functions for 2D and 3D topographic analyses of the end face surface. The software automatically indicates the angle, flatness and slope direction (radius and angle for the connector version) of the end face. To simplify the inspection process even further the ProView LD series can be set to a “Pass/Fail” mode. This function allows the operator to simply determine the end face quality via color codes on the image. In addition to cleave angle or radius and angle inspection, ProView LD interferometers can also be used to measure several other properties such as fiber diameters and distance between defined points etc. The ProView LD series has a compact design which makes it ideal for a production bench and to be used side-by-side with fusion splicers, cleavers, polishing stations, ultrasonic cleaners and other preparation tools. ProView LD interferometers are connected and powered via an USB 3.0 cable and hosted by an external PC (not included).
