Fujikura FSR-115, FSR-116, and FSR-117 Optical Fiber Recoaters: Precision at Its Best
The Fujikura FSR-115, FSR-116, and FSR-117 Optical Fiber Recoaters are cutting-edge solutions designed for high-precision reconstitution of optical fiber coatings. These advanced recoaters provide unmatched accuracy, reliability, and versatility for a variety of optical fiber applications. Whether working with high-strength splices, low-index coatings for power delivery, or softer coatings for gyroscope splices, the Fujikura FSR series ensures that your recoating processes are faster, smoother, and more efficient.
Fujikura has a longstanding reputation for innovation, and the FSR-115, FSR-116, and FSR-117 models are no exception. With the ability to recoat optical fibers with diameters ranging from 90 µm to 970 µm, these recoaters are suited for both standard and custom fiber sizes. Each model features improvements over previous versions, offering faster cycle times, precision recoat length control, and a user-friendly interface, making them ideal for both laboratory and field applications.
Features and Benefits of the Fujikura FSR-115, FSR-116, and FSR-117 Optical Fiber Recoaters
- RFID Mold Identification: Each model includes RFID-enabled molds, which simplify the process of selecting recoat modes based on mold size and other parameters. This feature streamlines production workflows and ensures quick, accurate setup for different applications.
- Exchangeable Inserts: The recoaters come with user-exchangeable inserts and shims, allowing for precise adjustments to fiber height. This ensures that the recoating process remains simple, repeatable, and highly accurate across different fiber sizes and coatings.
- Faster Cycle Times: Thanks to an improved pump mechanism and glass mold design, the time required to inject recoating resin has been reduced by more than 50%. This leads to faster cycle times, higher productivity, and less downtime between recoats.
- Consistent Recoat Lengths: With features like enhanced mold flow and precise length control, the FSR series ensures that every recoat is applied uniformly, with lengths ranging from 4 mm to 50 mm depending on the model.
- Laser Light Illumination: For easier viewing during resin injection, the recoaters include laser light illumination around the mold, ensuring precise observation of the recoating process.
- Touchscreen Graphical Interface: All three models feature a 4.95-inch touchscreen graphical interface, providing intuitive control over the recoating process. This enables easy access to programmable recoating modes and settings.
- High Proof Tension Options: Depending on the model, proof tension capabilities range from 2 kgf for the FSR-116 to 10 kgf for the FSR-117. These options provide flexibility for various fiber types and proof testing requirements.
In addition, the recoaters feature advanced wireless communication, USB connectivity, and support for firmware updates via Fujikura’s “Data Connection” PC software, ensuring that your system stays up to date with the latest advancements.
