Description
The FGC-G Fiber Glass Geometry Measurement System is a state-of-the-art solution designed to provide precise, high-speed automated measurements of optical fiber end-face geometry. This innovative system employs the video grey-scale technique, which is the reference test method described in the standards IEC-60793-1-20 annex B, ensuring that you can rely on its accuracy and standards compliance.
With its compact and robust design, the FGC-G is not only reliable but also ready for production environments. It offers consistent and repeatable fiber geometry measurements in a matter of seconds, making it an ideal choice for both development and manufacturing settings. The system is equipped with an internal LED to ensure consistent and fully filled core launch conditions, enhancing measurement reliability.
The FGC-G comes in two distinct models to cater to different measurement needs. The FGC-GT model is optimized for measuring fibers with a diameter of 125µm, making it suitable for single and multimode telecom fibers as well as specialty fibers. On the other hand, the FGC-GS model can handle fibers with diameters up to 1mm and is specifically designed for measuring specialty fibers such as octagonal and dual-cladding fibers.
Overall, the FGC-G Fiber Glass Geometry Measurement System is a compact and efficient tool that provides direct measurements of crucial fiber geometry parameters, including core diameter, core non-circularity, cladding diameter, cladding non-circularity, and core-to-cladding concentricity. This makes it an invaluable asset for professionals seeking precision and reliability in fiber geometry measurement.
