Product information "CMS Combiner Manufacturer System"

Optical Fiber Splicing/Processing System; Heat Source <300->3,000 °C; Splicing of 125-2,000 µm Dia. Fibers; Automatic Bidirectional Tapering ≤175 mm Length; Semi-automatic Cleaving of Fibers ≤500 µm Dia.

3SAE Technologies’ CMS Combiner Manufacturing System is the supplier’s latest and most advanced optical fiber splicing/processing system. The CMS is specifically designed to maintain production level repeatability for multi-kilowatt class high-power fiber combiners and other fused optical components.

The CMS system operates in partial vacuum and is utilizing the unique “Thermally Stabilized Plasma™” technology which generates an extremely repeatable and stabilized heat source with a wide dynamic range of operation from <300 °C to >3000 °C. This makes the CMS ideal for repeatable glass processing and high-volume optical component manufacturing.

The main CMS functionalities are:
SPLICING

Splicing of 125 to 2000 µm fibers supported
Automatic alignment with an exclusive <50 nm X and Y fiber positional resolution
Automatic pitch and yaw alignment
End cap splicing for cylindrical, chamfered and tapered end caps

TAPERING

Taper lengths of up to 175 mm supported in bidirectional mode
Automatic taper creation via intuitive software interface or manual table editing
Exclusive "Table Based Tapering™" software included for easy user level single direction or bidirectional taper program creation and nearly infinite engineer level process control

CLEAVING

Semi-automatic in-situ cleaving of fibers up to 500 µm
Adjustable precision cleaving location via image feedback

Key Features:

Extremely Repeatable Glass Processing Heat Source Ideal for High-volume Optical Component Manufacturing With a Range of Operation From <300 °C to >3000 °C
Unsurpassed Heat Source Circumferential Thermal Uniformity for Symmetrical Ultra-low Loss Tapering and Reduced Thermally Induced Component Stress
Contamination-free Heat Source Capable of Producing Ultra-high-strength Multi-kilowatt Class Optical Components
Fastest Cycle Times Based on Standard Splice, Taper and Cleave Cycle Times Averaged Together
In-situ Cleaver Included for Fiber Diameters ≤500 µm

Applications: Splicing/Processing of Optical Fibers; Repeatable Glass Processing; High-volume Optical Component Manufacturing; Maintaining Production Level Repeatability for Multi-kilowatt Class High-power Fiber Combiners and Other Fused Optical Components
