Fujikura PCS-100L Polyimide Coating Stripper

Fujikura PCS-100L Polyimide Coating Stripper

The Fujikura PCS-100L Polyimide Coating Stripper is an advanced specialty fiber preparation tool engineered for the precise mechanical removal of polyimide coatings and UV curable resin coatings from optical fibers. Designed for professional fiber processing environments, the PCS-100L provides a safer and more controlled alternative to traditional chemical or high-temperature stripping methods.

Polyimide-coated fibers are commonly used in demanding applications such as oil and gas sensing, medical devices, high-temperature environments, specialty fiber assemblies, research laboratories, and photonics manufacturing. These coatings can be difficult to remove using standard stripping tools. The Fujikura PCS-100L addresses this challenge with programmable mechanical stripping settings that help improve repeatability, reduce chemical handling, and support consistent fiber preparation.

The PCS-100L is designed for silica-based single-mode and multimode glass fibers. It supports a wide fiber range, with cladding diameters from 60 to 1200 µm and coating diameters from 60 to 1500 µm. Fiber clamping is handled using compatible FH-110 Series fiber holders, allowing the tool to adapt to different fiber and coating sizes.

Precise and Safer Fiber Stripping with the Fujikura PCS-100L

The Fujikura PCS-100L Polyimide Coating Stripper is built for users who need accurate stripping performance without relying on hazardous chemical processes such as hot sulfuric acid or open flame coating removal. Its mechanical stripping method helps protect fiber integrity while improving operator safety and process control.

• Mechanical stripping method: Removes polyimide coatings without hazardous chemical stripping or burning methods.
• Programmable operation: Provides 30 user-programmable modes for different fiber diameters, strip lengths, and process requirements.
• Wide fiber compatibility: Supports silica-based single-mode and multimode glass fibers with cladding diameters from 60 to 1200 µm.
• Coating compatibility: Designed for polyimide coating and UV curable resin coating applications.
• Adjustable stripping parameters: Allows customization of blade position, stroke, and fiber rotation angle for process flexibility.
• Fast stripping cycles: Supports consistent stripping operation, with typical stripping times based on the number of stripping passes.
• FH-110 fiber holder support: Uses applicable FH-110 Series fiber holder pairs for stable fiber clamping.

Advanced Features and Benefits of the Fujikura PCS-100L Polyimide Coating Stripper

The Fujikura PCS-100L is designed for specialty fiber users who require clean, repeatable stripping results. In applications involving polyimide-coated fibers, conventional techniques can introduce safety concerns, inconsistent coating removal, or potential fiber damage. The PCS-100L uses a controlled mechanical stripping process to help reduce these risks.

With 30 user-programmable modes, the PCS-100L allows operators to store stripping recipes for different fiber types and process needs. This is especially useful in production, R&D, and specialty fiber manufacturing environments where technicians may work with multiple fiber diameters, coating materials, or strip lengths throughout the day.

The tool supports strip lengths from 1 to 35 mm, including window stripping from 1 to 33 mm. This makes it suitable for a range of fiber preparation workflows where exact coating removal length is important. Adjustable parameters such as blade position, blade stroke, and fiber rotation angle help users tailor the process to the specific fiber being stripped.

The PCS-100L also helps reduce processing time compared with many manual or chemical stripping approaches. Depending on the programmed process, stripping time is approximately 20 seconds for 4 stripping passes, 35 seconds for 8 stripping passes, or 50 seconds for 12 stripping passes. This makes the unit practical for repeatable specialty fiber preparation where consistent output is required.
