An advanced optical cleaver for silica fibres.
The CT11x series of automatic optical cleavers offers superior cleaving performance compared to a conventional cleaver with a circular blade.

The CT11x series is equipped with a motorised diamond blade, which allows the operator to gradually cleave a fibre with a specific tension applied.

Thanks to the introduction of RFID technology, the CT11x series is able to recognise what fibre holder is being used and then select the appropriate cleaving programme optimised by the user.

Applications

Our high-quality optical fibre cleavers are built to achieve low cleave angles with pristine end-faces for a vast array of fibre types and are heavily utilised in a variety of specialty fibre optic industries, such as universities, R&D optical institutes, high power laser, photonics industries and medical applications.

Key Features

Versatility

CT110 can cleave fibres with a cladding between 80–25μm.

Low average cleave angle

Average 0.3° for 125μm cladding fibres.

Automatic features

Automatic fibre tension and blade position adjustment, plus automatic cleaving programme selection via RFID signal from the fibre holder.

Coating adjuster clamp

Allows you to alter the fibre coating length.

NOTES

[1] Holder Adapter Plate (AD-CT110-FH70) is necessary to use FH-70 series. [2] There are some cases in the set tension is different from the actual tension. [3] Maximum cleaved angle changes depending on the fibre type cleaved and clamp position. [4] Support 10,000 cleaves per position at cladding dia. 0.250mm. 20pos. X 10,000 cleaves = 200,000 cleaves. The blade life changes depending on the environmental conditions. Operating method and the fibre type cleaved.
