Automatic Preparation Machine APM-101

Compressed-air is necessary for operation and to prepare optical fibres before splicing requires standard steps of procedure:

1. Stripping fibre without degrading fibre quality
2. Cleaning fibre with alcohol to remove coating residue
3. Cleaving fibre with right angle.
The APM-101 performs all processes automatically to produce consistent results and a superior operating process that is highly reliable. In factory and industrial automation systems the APM-101 offers:
- Consistent fibre preparation and splicing quality.
- Compact body design with a small footprint to fit various operating surfaces.
- Automatic, no skills required
- 3 to 9mm cleave length is achievable for 125 micron cladding/250 micron coating fibers
- Quick operation as little as 18 sec for stripping/cleaning/cleaving
- Automatic residue collection and cleaning
- Alcohol circulation system allowing prolonged time between refills
- Diamond blade provides consistent cleaving quality
- Reliable stripping method with minimum fiber damage
- Product friendly design
