GPX-3000 Series Fiber and Glass Processing System GPX-3100
The GPX-3000 series comprises glass processing systems and fiber fusion splicers. Vytran has led the fields of glass processing and specialty fiber splicing for over 23 years and has developed a comprehensive application library. This technical knowledge and application experience are incorporated into the GPX-3000 series. All GPX-3000 products are multipurpose glass processing and fiber splicing platforms. Besides splicing, they can produce fiber tapers, couplers, combiners and end caps, processing fibers from 40um to as much as 2.0mm in diameter. Every GPX-3000 system has a graphite filament furnace that provides a highly stable, high-temperature heat source independent of the surrounding environment for precise glass processing. An embedded real-time control system and a powerful industrial-PC-level macro programming language allow operators to create their own event-driven routines for fast and flexible process development. All high-end system communication uses a user-friendly PC-based graphical interface for easy operation and data storage. The fully integrated, compact GPX-3000 systems provide consistently high-performance glass processing solutions rather than a laboratory tool assembled from separate hardware. Vytran’s mature, highly integrated design makes the GPX-3000 family an ideal platform for high-volume development and production of fused tapered components and large-core fiber splices, especially for fiber lasers and other specialty applications.

Electro-optic deflectors (EODs) are optical devices used to steer or deflect light beams by applying an electric field to a specialized optical crystal. Unlike mechanical beam steering systems that rely on moving mirrors, electro-optic deflectors enable high-speed, non-mechanical beam control with exceptional precision and responsiveness. They are widely used in laser scanning, optical communications, microscopy, laser printing, spectroscopy, and scientific research, where rapid and accurate laser beam positioning is essential.
