Product information "AutoStrip II Window Stripping Unit"

Automated, Mid-span; Window Strip Length 2-150 mm; Fiber Coating Diameter ≤1,000 µm; Fiber Cladding 125-400 µm; Pulling Speed 20-100 mm/min

The AutoStrip II is designed for fast, chemical free window stripping of optical fibers. Utilizing SAE Technologies’ patented “Burst Technology™”, this system accomplishes the often difficult task of window stripping fibers with acrylate coating diameters up to 1,000 µm.

The AutoStrip II automated, mid-span window stripping unit meets the need for variable window strip lengths at high strength and ultra cleanliness. The proven Burst Technology™ method instantly vaporizes the fiber coating. The result is a clean, stripped fiber at substantially higher strength than any mechanical stripping method. The fiber is free of debris at 400x magnification.

Equipped with a built-in, high-force fiber tensile tester, the AutoStrip II system can pull the fiber up to 20 N (235 kpsi). To ensure high quality, repeatability and high production yield, all critical processes and parameters such as stripping distance, burst temperature, burst speed, and strength test are controlled automatically by a built-in microprocessor.

The AutoStrip II can be used as a stand-alone unit or integrated into different sub-systems. The use of chemicals for high-strength fiber stripping is now a thing of the past!
