Description
The FiBO® 200 Accessories from Promet Optics offer a comprehensive suite of tools designed to enhance the precision and efficiency of fiber optic endface measurements. These accessories are meticulously engineered to integrate seamlessly with FiBO interferometers, providing users with the capability to conduct detailed 3D endface analyses with unparalleled accuracy. Each component is crafted with high-quality materials to ensure durability and reliability in various optical measurement applications.
One of the standout components is the Fiber Ribbon Stage, which is essential for the 3D endface measurement of cleaved ribbon fibers. This stage is designed with a smoothly adjustable X-Y interface and a high-precision kinematic interface, ensuring precise alignment and measurement. When paired with the FiBO Code™ Software, users can achieve optimal results in fiber ribbon analysis. The Fiber Ribbon Holder, sold separately, complements this stage by facilitating individual endface geometry measurements, making it an indispensable tool for professionals dealing with ribbon optical fibers.
Another critical accessory is the Variable Angle Tilt Stage (VATS™), which is specifically designed for measuring the 3D endface of angled ferrules and bare optical fibers. Its gimbal tilt design allows for easy alignment, while the vernier degree scale and magnifying lens provide precise angle adjustments. The VATS™ is fully compatible with the Bare Fiber Chuck (BFC™), which is engineered to handle cleaved and polished bare optical fibers with care, thanks to its clam shell design and V-mount groove. This combination ensures that fibers are not damaged during loading, making it a reliable choice for delicate fiber optic components.
The Connector Adapter for the FiBO 200 is another innovative addition to this accessory lineup. Utilizing a patented high-precision kinematic interface, it guarantees positioning accuracy within a fraction of a micron. This adapter is designed to engage both the ferrule and the body of the connector, ensuring proper keying orientation and enhancing the overall measurement precision. With these accessories, Promet Optics continues to set the standard for excellence in fiber optic measurement technology.
