Nyfors CleaveMeter 3D

The CT52 is designed for cleaving silica fiber with 125μm cladding diameter, specially for its short length cleaving capability. Minimum 3mm cleave is possible by up to 900μm fiber coating, while the coating to be clamped.

AFL’s PowerCleave combines the precision of an ultrasonic cleaver with the ease and improved fiber management of the Fujikura fiber holder system. The PowerCleave™ utilizes the tensile stress method to avoid touching or damaging the bare glass surface during cleaving, ensuring highly robust, reliable and durable splice results. The PowerCleave provides consistent flat ends even at cleave lengths as short as 3 mm. Specially designed for use with Fujikura’s specialty market splicers, this advanced cleaving system allows for more reliability and greater splicing consistency with less dependence on operator technique.

Nyfors product. The AutoCoater 2 SC™ is used to restore the protective coating on acrylate coated optical fibers in high strength applications. It is fully automatic, allowing for operator skill independent operation in factory environments with high cost and productivity advantages. This modified version of the automatic AutoCoater 2™ is equipped with special clamps for recoating applications where only short lengths of fiber are available. A narrower positioning and shorter distance between the fiber clamps than in the standard version enables clamping and recoating of fibers as short as 124 mm without reducing the recoat length itself.

The CleaveMeterTM interferometer system is designed for inspecting the surface quality, flatness and perpendicularity of cleaved and polished optical fibers. Complementing the NYFORS AutoCleaverTM line of automatic fiber cleavers with process documentation and optimization functionality, it allows every cleave to be individually inspected and evaluated even in high volume production environments.
