LFS-4100 Large Diameter Fiber Splicer
Description
The LFS-4100 is a dedicated process tool for splicing standard, large diameter and specialty fibers. Designed for volume production of fiber assemblies, it is intended for manufacturers that want the splicing performance of Vytran’s proven filament fusion, multi-function splicing and glass processing products, but from a stand-alone, easy-to-use tool. The LFS-4100 uses our patented filament fusion technology to produce low-loss splices on fibers ranging from 125 µm to 1.25 mm in diameter. It can be used for standard and specialty fibers such as doped fibers, polarization maintaining (PM) fibers, large mode area (LMA) fiber, photonic crystal fiber (PCF), highly stressed fibers and D shapes. It features PC-based software with two screens – one tailored for product development that allows all of the unit’s functionalities, and another simplified screen that allows basic operator interface for easy, consistent, volume manufacturing.
