LDC-200-G

LDC-200-G is a fully automated fiber cleaver that produces flat and angled cleaves on fibers ranging from 80 microns in diameter to 1.5 mm. This tension-and-scribe system marries the tensioning capabilities of our linear proof testers with precision diamond blade scribing technology to produce consistent cleaves with mirror-quality end-face finishes.
LDC-200-G features programmable cleave tension, rotation angle and scribe conditions, and includes specialty processes for cleaving photonic crystal fiber, highly stressed fibers or capillary tubing. The system can also be used for many non-circular fibers typically used in fiber laser systems. LDC-200-G is an ideal companion to our GPX-3000 series glass processing systems.
