Automated Fiber Fusion Splicer: Cladding Diameter ≤1.7 mm GPX3600
Vytran large-core fiber processors are multifunctional platforms for fiber splicing, tapering, and the manufacture of fiber couplers, terminations, and combiners. They provide automatic XY pre-splice alignment of fiber edges and automatic rotational alignment of fiber cores. They are well suited to splicing polarization-maintaining, photonic crystal, and other specialty fibers with microstructured cores. GPX3400 supports fibers with cladding diameters up to Ø1.25mm, while the higher-power GPX3600 handles cladding diameters up to Ø1.7mm. An integrated filament-based furnace provides a uniform, precisely controlled high-temperature heat source. Easily interchangeable filament materials and sizes allow the same system to process various cladding diameters and specialty fibers. Precise control of fiber position and orientation enables advanced processes, including low-loss splicing of similar fibers, adiabatic tapering, fiber terminations, and fused-fiber coupler fabrication.
