NorthLab ProCleave™ LD II
Automatic Fiber Cleaver for Large Diameter Fibers
The NorthLab ProCleave LD II is an automated fiber cleaver designed for large diameter optical glass fibers up to 550μm. It’s ideal for production settings that prioritize ease of operation, fast processing, and high throughput. Additionally, it fits well in R&D environments. The device offers four cleave programs, easily switchable via a touch panel, and includes PC control software for real-time parameter adjustments, facilitating quick cleave optimization.
The ProCleave LD II consistently produces very flat end-faces and low cleave angles (typically less than 0.5°), ensuring high repeatability. Its performance and consistency are enhanced by the automatic monitoring and control of critical parameters. A standout feature is its universal, self-adjusting clamping mechanism, which negates the need for external parts or accessories for different fiber diameters.
Portability is a key advantage of the ProCleave LD II, as it can be powered either through an external power source or its built-in rechargeable battery, which includes an easy-to-read battery meter.
