Description

The XQ7110B is a high-precision hydrogen-oxygen flame fiber taper machine designed for manufacturing optical fiber couplers, splitters, and wavelength division multiplexers (WDM). Based on the proven flame-brushing tapering technique, it enables controlled fiber heating and stretching to produce consistent, low-loss taper profiles for high-performance photonic devices. 

Using a precisely controlled hydrogen-oxygen flame, the system locally heats the optical fiber while synchronized translation stages stretch it to form a tapered region. This method is widely used in fiber optics manufacturing because it enables highly reproducible taper geometries and efficient optical mode transformation with minimal loss.

The XQ7110B supports a wide range of tapering configurations and optical splitting ratios, making it suitable for producing standard 1×2, 2×2, 1×4 splitters as well as WDM devices such as 980/1550 nm and 1310/1550 nm systems. Its multifunctional architecture and compatibility with different fiber types make it particularly well suited for batch production environments.

High-resolution motion control (down to ~1 µm scale) and precise gas flow regulation ensure stable and repeatable tapering processes, while integrated optical power monitoring enables real-time process optimization. The result is consistent device performance across large production volumes.
