Small Bowl; Optimized for Fiber Splicing; Fiber Cladding 50-1,500 µm; Fiber Coating 80-2,000 µm; Cleaning Cycle Time 3-48 s; Frequency Tuned Oscillation; Power Supply 100-240 VAC

3SAE Technologies’ USC Ultrasonic Cleaner is a purpose-built ultrasonic fiber cleaner that was designed specifically for fiber splicing applications. Many years of splicing experience went into the functional, ergonomic design that ensures consistent cleaning results and easy fiber loading.

Operation of the 3SAE Technologies Ultrasonic Cleaner is easy and intuitive. The fiber holder rail can be configured to accommodate Fitel, Fujikura, Ericsson or 3SAE Technologies fiber holders. To operate, simply lower the fiber holder down the rail and press the start button. Audible and visual indicators indicate when the fiber should be removed. Additionally, the unit is designed to dip fibers in the ultrasonic bath without the use of fiber holders.

The intensity of cleaning can be adjusted to optimize results for different fiber types and sizes. Programmable presets can be provided for special applications.

3SAE Technologies' complete line of preparation tools, including the ultrasonic cleaners, are configurable for use with Fitel, Fujikura, 3SAE or Ericsson fiber holders. Use of fiber holders provides a repeatable handling process across strip, clean, cleave and splice equipment for high-strength splicing and improved yield.

3SAE Technologies' complete line of fiber holder compatible preparation tools incorporates the thermal stripper, ultrasonic cleaner and fiber cleavers.

Ultrasonic cleaning has long been the preferred means of cleaning optical fibers for critical splicing applications. Today's high-power glass processing applications are sensitive to contamination and fatigue that results from hand cleaning and demand a thorough, non-contact cleaning alternative. Use of an ultrasonic cleaner ensures ultimate cleanliness and is essential for maximizing post process optical fiber performance and reliability.
