Fujikura APM-101

With highly consistent results and a superior operating process that is highly reliable, The APM-101 automatically performs all the steps required to prepare optical fibres for splicing.

Steps carried out by APM-10:

• Stripping the fibre without degrading fibre quality
• Cleaning fibre with alcohol to remove coating residue
• Cleaving consistently at a right angle to the fibre axis.

In factory and industrial automation systems the APM-101 offers:

• Quick operation by an automated system provides continuous long-operation times, avoiding multiple break interruptions to clean components and residue containers. With an internal pressure sensor, the APM-101 system checks the air pressure required for cleaving quality before initialising operations for low and incorrect air pressures to be detected.
• Compact body design with a small footprint to fit various operating surfaces.

Compressed air is necessary for operation.

Features:

• Automatic, no skills required
• 3mm to 9mm cleave length is achievable for 125μm cladding/250μm coating fibres
• Quick operation as little as 18 sec for stripping/cleaning/cleaving
• Automatic residue collection and cleaning
• Alcohol circulation system allowing prolonged time between refills
• Diamond blade provides consistent cleaving quality
• Reliable stripping method with minimum fibre damage
