| Fujikura Enters Industrial Sector with New Fusion Splicer Fujikura Europe has announced the launch of a new fusion splicer to support the increasing use of fibre optics in industrial applications. With Large Diameter Fibre splicing capability, the new LDF series of products is capable of splicing all types of fibre currently available. The new range, with a smaller footprint than products currently available in this market, can perform accurate, reliable splices using an arc fusion technique, therefore eliminating the need for external gas supply. An intuitive graphical interface enables users to programme the products' automated alignment system, reducing user error when splicing complex fibres, such as polarisation maintaining fibre. The new splicers are designed for OEMs, R&D establishments, the medical industry, automotive industry, fibre laser manufacturers and universities. The products are equipped with wide view cameras to focus on the whole image of the maximum diameter LDF and utilise a high power arc discharge unit, coupled with modified electrodes to withstand the high current. The splicers also include new attenuation modes for polarisation maintaining fibres. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
