CT111
Automatic optical cleaver with angled cleaving function
Effortless, automated cleaving with RFID recognition & user-optimised programs.






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. The CT111 equips with an angled cleaving function.
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
Automatic features
Automatic fibre tension and blade position adjustment, plus automatic cleaving programme selection via RFID signal from the fibre holder.
