NorthLab ProCleave™ HS-MP - Electronic Fiber Cleaver with Micro Positioner
The NorthLab ProCleave™ HS-MP is a high-precision electronic fiber cleaver with a built-in micro positioner designed for the production of in-line optical fiber lens systems. It enables micrometer-accurate control of individual lens segment lengths, handling fiber cladding diameters from 80 to 250 µm. The ProCleave HS-MP is ideal for advanced fiber-optic assemblies based on GRIN, coreless (CLF), and single-mode fibers, with typical applications including ultra-small probes, high-power beam delivery, and low-loss coupling between single-mode fibers.
A built-in micro-positioner combined with a high-resolution digital linear scale allows precise and repeatable cleave length adjustment for each lens segment. Multiple segment lengths can be programmed (up to 5) to support semi-automated, software-guided production of complex fiber lens assemblies. Advanced ultrasonic diamond scribe technology ensures excellent cleave quality, producing flat end faces, low cleave angles (typical <0.5°), and minimal blade intrusion.
A fast, user-friendly clamping mechanism supports high throughput, while flexible power options, including an external supply or an integrated rechargeable battery, enable both bench-top and mobile use. The ProCleave HS-MP is compatible with fiber holders from all major fusion splicer brands.* It is available through 3SAE Technologies, the authorized North American distributor for NorthLab Photonics.
* Fiber holder not included in the delivery kit.

ProCleave HS-MP FAQ
What is the ProCleave HS-MP used for?
The ProCleave HS-MP is designed for the efficient production of in-line optical fiber lens systems. Its built-in micro positioner enables micrometer-accurate control of individual lens segment lengths, making it ideal for fiber-optic assemblies based on GRIN, coreless (CLF), and single-mode fibers.
What fiber diameters does the ProCleave HS-MP support?
The ProCleave HS-MP handles fiber cladding diameters from 80 to 250 µm, covering both reduced cladding and standard diameter fibers.
How does the micro positioner work?
The built-in micro positioner uses a differential adjustment function combined with a high-resolution digital linear scale for precise and repeatable cleave length adjustment. Up to 5 lens segment lengths can be programmed to support semi-automated, software-guided production of complex fiber lens assemblies.
What cleave quality does the ProCleave HS-MP achieve?
Advanced ultrasonic diamond scribe technology produces flat end faces, low cleave angles (typical <0.5° on 125 µm SMF28), and minimal blade intrusion.
Is the ProCleave HS-MP compatible with my fusion splicer’s fiber holders?
Yes. The ProCleave HS-MP ships with a platform that supports Fujikura, Fitel, and 3SAE fiber holders. The fiber holder itself is not included in the delivery kit.
