GPX4000LZ Advanced Fiber Processing System with CO2 Laser and Graphite-Filament Heating
The GPX4000LZ advanced fiber-processing system combines CO2-laser and graphite-filament heat sources. This new generation of fiber and glass processing equipment integrates a CO2 laser with the established Thorlabs/Vytran GPX-3000 platform. A highly stable CO2 heat source provides up to40W with an innovative annular-beam design to address localized, nonuniform fiber heating associated with the previous generation of CO2-laser processing. The source also identifies the established GPX-3850 system as the GPX4000LZ base platform. Vytran True Core Imaging supports high-quality splicing of specialty and large-core fibers. The system offers high-resolution imaging, with fiber-positioning and control precision stated to be an order of magnitude higher than other fiber splicers.
