Optical fiber automatic preparation machine APM-100
Certain steps are required to prepare optical fibers before splicing, including:
Stripping fiber without degrading fiber quality
Cleaning fiber with alcohol to remove coating residue
Cleaving consistently at a right angle to the fiber axis
The quality of each process largely relies on an operator’s skill and habits, which can negatively affect productivity and process yields. The APM-100 performs all these troublesome processes automatically with high consistency and without operator sensitivity.
· Quick operation – The whole process is complete in as little as 18 seconds.
· Automatic cleaning – Main components in the machine are automatically cleaned allowing a continuous sequence of 100 fiber preparation operations.
· Automatic residue collector – Coating residue and glass scraps are collected in separate containers. At least 100 fiber preparation operations may be performed without emptying the scrap collectors.
· Alcohol circulation system – Alcohol for cleaning is circulated in a closed system enabling a lengthy refill-free operation.
· Diamond blade – A Diamond blade is used for cleaving and provides consistent cleaving quality.
· Reliable stripping method – Contact of the stripping blade to the fiber is prevented using guides in conjunction with the blade. This minimizes damage to fiber during the stripping process.
· Production-friendly design – The operating height is the same as the FSM-100 series splicers providing ergonomic, smooth and simple operation.
