Specialty splicers and accessories
APM-101
Automatic fibre preparation machine
For consistent results in a production environment.
Automated stripping, cleaning and cleaving.
The APM-101 automatically strips, cleans and cleaves fibres ready for splicing.
With highly consistent results and a superior operating process that is highly reliable, The APM-101 automatically performs all the steps required to prepare optical fibres for splicing.
Steps carried out by APM-101 stripping the fibre without degrading fibre quality, cleaning fibre with alcohol to remove coating residue, and cleaving consistently at a right angle to the fibre axis.
In factory and industrial automation systems the APM-101 offers:
- Quick operation by an automated system provides continuous long-operation times, avoiding multiple break interruptions to clean components and residue containers. With an internal pressure sensor, the APM-101 system checks the air pressure required for cleaving quality before initialising operations for low and incorrect air pressures to be detected.
- Compact body design with a small footprint to fit various operating surfaces.
Compressed air is necessary for operation.
Key Features
Quick operation
Completion of stripping, cleaning and cleaving in a little as 18 seconds.
Consistent results
Thanks to a reliable stripping method with minimal fibre damage, and a diamond blade for consistent cleaves.
Variable cleave lengths
3mm to 9mm cleave length for 125μm cladding/250μm coating fibres
