Optical Fiber Cleaver

NYFORS (Stockholm, Sweden) has introduced a new high-precision optical fiber cleaver that accommodates fiber diameters from 80 μm up to more than 400 μm. The new AutoCleaver LDF-M‘ is specifically designed to provide fast and reliable high-quality cleaving capability for the mid-span to large diameter fibers commonly used in fiber laser manufacturing and other specialty fiber applications. Based on the well-known AutoCleaver‘ platform, this is a fully automated optical fiber cleaver for production and laboratory settings with a cycle time of less than 15 seconds. Flat and smooth fiber end faces, free of surface defects such as hackles, mist, and chips, are produced with high consistency thanks to the stable mechanical design and proven tension-and-scribe cleaving process.
