Splicing and Recoating Solutions

Fusion Splicers

Large Diameter Fiber Fusion Splicing System 3SAE Large Diameter Splicing system
3SAE Technologies has developed the Large Diameter Splicing (LDS) System. Whether the application is splicing of low temperature glass fibers, tapering, end capping, high power fiber laser component fabrication and assembly (such as mode field adapters, pump combiners and pump/signal combiners), the Large Diameter Splicing (LDS) System provides capabilities that overcome the technical hurdles of current fiber component fabrication processes to meet the most demanding requirements.

The advanced features of the S183PMII allow you to splice today’s and tomorrow’s most exotic fiber types. Whether performing high-strength splices, splicing small
cladding fibers (80μm), large cladding fibers (500μm), high Δ splicing combinations, PM fibers, or erbium doped fiber, the S183PMII is the splicer for your high-end application.

Cleaving solutions

Large Diameter Fiber Cleaver (LDF) - 3SAE Liquid Clamp Technology 3SAE Liquid Clamp Cleaver II LDF
The 3SAE Liquid Clamp Cleaver II LDF, (patent pending) is the most advanced large diameter fiber cleaver for circular and shaped fibers from 125um to 1000um. The Liquid Clamp Cleaver II LDF not only produces very flat cleaves for improved splice loss and beam quality, but now features angle cleaving for fibers 250 to 1000um in diameter at no extra cost. Angle cleaving is controlled by way of the on-board LCD and keypad interface which allows up to 30 degrees of rotation.

Fiber Cutting Station for Large Core & Large Diameter (LD) Fibers - 3SAE Technologies 3SAE Fiber Cutting Station
The Fiber Cutting Station is designed to pre cleave optical fibers for use with the EndFace Prep Station. The fiber holder is easily placed in the correct position and the blade is enabled using a sensor that starts the cutting process automatically.
Large Diameter Fiber Optic Cleaving – 3SAE EndFace Prep Station II 3SAE EndFace Prep Station II
Large-diameter optical fibers are increasingly important in the development of new optical technologies. Cleaving these fibers for splicing presents many challenges. Low angle offsets and smooth, flat endfaces are required. Many fibers are non-round or have internal structures that interfere with conventional cleaving. With some fibers priced in hundreds of dollars per meter, the length of cutoff scrap must be minimized.

Ericsson EFC11-4 Ericsson EFC 11-4 Fiber Optic Cleaver
The most revolutionary aspect of the EFC 11-4 is the ultrasonic cleaving action. The EFC 11-4 has the same technology as in the EFC 11 with a fiber holder platform to accommodate most splicers on the market today. A precision diamond blade is attached to a resonant acoustic-stepped horn. The ultrasonic horn resonance is started and maintained for the duration of the cleave by an electronic circuit. It is then automatically terminated to preserve battery life.

Fitel S325A Fitel S325A - Single Action Precision Cleaver
This compact unit delivers speed and precision. With a single button, you complete a secure cleave and the waste fiber is automatically collected. Excellent for hand-held and work bench use. Performs 32,000 cleaves.
End Face Inspection Station 3SAE EndFace Inspection Station
The Endface Inspection Station (EFI) is a fiber inspection tool that inspects the end-face of a fiber. The EFI is primarily used to assist in PM splicing, but can also be used as a tool for inspecting fiber end-faces after fiber preparation such as cleaving or polishing.

Window Stripping Solutions

3SAE AutoStrip II 3SAE AutoStrip II - Automatic Mid- Span Fiber Stripping Unit
The AutoStripII is designed for fast, chemical free window stripping of optical fibers. Utilizing our patented “burst technology”, it accomplishes the often difficult task of window stripping fibers with acrylate coating diameters up to 1,000μm. The AutoStripII meets the need for variable window strip lengths at high strength and ultra cleanliness.
Plasma Work Station - Polyimide Window Fiber Optic Stripper | 3SAE Technologies 3SAE Plasma WorkStation - Polyimide Stripping, Ball Termination, Overtube Fusing
The 3SAE Plasma Work Station is a compact, precision-built instrument for performing fiber operations that are beyond the ordinary. The standard thermomechanical stripping, solvent cleaning, and arc fusion splicing technologies are now over 20 years old, and were developed for basic acrylate-coated 125um SM fiber splicing. As fiber technology continues to expand, there are production operations that are difficult or impossible to perform on standard production fiber processing tools.
