Coupler drawing machines are suited for the development and production of fiber optic passive components.
Coupler drawing machines are used in the production of fused couplers. In addition to standard fibers with a diameter of 125 µm, these units, which are manufactured by Lightel, are also used to process thicker fibers and polarization-maintaining fibers.
Lightel’s coupler drawing machines work with hydrogen gas and/or oxygen. High temperatures can be achieved that make it possible to manufacture different products, for example
The CW-200B coupler drawing machine is used in the production of couplers via the fused biconic taper (FBT) process.
Also available:
A wide range of fused fiber optic products can be prepared at the CW-5000 coupler work station, including
Due to its flexible design (for which various different platforms can be used) and intelligent, automated control, the CW-5000 is suited for use in production facilities and research centers.
The FiberForge™ is a unit with the smallest dimensions and is specifically designed for product development. The integrated PC facilitates transportation between the workbench and the laboratory. If desired, a hydrogen generator can also be integrated on an optional basis.
