Description

Scepter X2™ Automated Connector Polishing System is a revolutionary advancement in the field of optical polishing, designed to enhance efficiency and precision. This state-of-the-art system introduces dual position optical polishing, effectively doubling the capacity of the standard Scepter™. With its innovative design, the Scepter X2™ ensures that your polishing processes are not only faster but also more reliable, meeting the highest industry standards.

The system is equipped with an external PC control with Microfeed™, allowing for precise adjustments and control over the polishing process. This feature, combined with independent suspension workholders, ensures that each connector is polished to perfection. The independent suspension workholders provide controlled pressure and uniform contact with the polishing surface, which is crucial for achieving consistent results. This technology supports all industry-standard connectors, MIL-termini, and ferrules, making it a versatile choice for various applications.

One of the standout features of the Scepter X2™ is its ability to perform air polishing within the machine, a process that maximizes film life while maintaining high-quality finishes. The system is Telcordia compliant, ensuring that it meets rigorous industry standards for performance and reliability. The intuitive user interface simplifies the creation of polishing programs, allowing users to easily input parameters such as cycle time, pressure, and speed settings for all connector types and desired surface geometries.

The Scepter X2™ is designed to deliver exceptional polishing performance, with an apex offset of less than 50 microns maximum and typically less than 15 microns. Its optical performance is equally impressive, with back reflection of less than -60 dB for UPC and less than -65 dB for APC, and an insertion loss of less than 0.25 dB, typical. These specifications ensure that the Scepter X2™ not only meets but exceeds industry expectations, providing a reliable solution for high-precision optical polishing needs.
