Automatic Fiber Fusion Splicer (with Cleaving): Cladding Diameter Less Than or Equal to 1.7 mm GPX3850
Vytran's large-core fiber splicing and tapering processor is a multifunctional platform designed for fiber splicing, tapering, and fabrication of fiber couplers, terminations, and combiners. It integrates a precision cleaver into the splice head and uses a thermal camera for real-time process monitoring. Before splicing, it can align fiber edges in XY and rotationally align the fiber cores. These combined functions allow polarization-maintaining fibers and specialty fibers with microstructured cores to be cleaved and spliced at one workstation while also producing tapers and terminations for many fiber types. The GPX3800 processes fibers with cladding diameters up to Ø1.25 mm; the higher-power GPX3850 handles diameters up to Ø1.7 mm.
