Fujikura APM-101 Fiber Preparation Tool
The APM-101 and APM-102 provide fiber optic preparation automation for assembly operations in a factory environment. Both perform all the operational steps required to strip, clean and cleave the fiber, automatically and with high repeatability. This includes stripping the fiber without degrading fiber quality, cleaning fiber with alcohol to remove coating residue, and cleaving consistently at a right angle to the fiber axis. The entire process is complete in as little as 21 seconds.
The APM-101 is designed to accept the FH-100-250 fiber holder that is a component of Fujikura’s FSM-100 series and LZM-100 splicing platforms. It can also accept the FH-40/45-250 fiber holder used with the FSM-40/45F and FSM-40/45PM splicing platforms. The APM-102 is designed to accept the FH-60-250 fiber holder used with Fujikura models 70S, 19S and 12S.
