3SAE AutoStrip II (ASII)
Automated Mid-Span Window Stripping Unit
The 3SAE AutoStrip II (ASII) is designed for fast, chemical-free window stripping of acrylate coated optical fibers. Utilizing our patented Burst Technology™, it accomplishes the often difficult task of window stripping optical fibers with acrylate coating diameters up to 600μm. The AutoStrip II (ASII) meets the need for variable window strip lengths at high strength and ultra cleanliness.
The proven Burst Technology™ method instantly vaporizes the optical fiber coating. The result is a clean, stripped fiber, at a substantially higher strength than any mechanical optical fiber stripping method. The fiber is free of debris at 400x magnification. The ASII is also equipped with a built-in, high force, fiber tensile tester, which can pull a 125 μm cladding fiber up to 235 kpsi (20 N).
To ensure high quality, repeatability and high production yield, all critical processes, and parameters such as stripping distance, burst temperature, burst speed, and strength test are controlled automatically by a built-in microprocessor. The AutoStrip II (ASII) can be used as a stand-alone unit or integrated into different sub-systems. The use of chemicals for high strength optical fiber stripping is now a thing of the past!
