Vytran LLC is the world's leading provider of optical fiber recoaters and proof testers. With the introduction of our PTR-200 Series of products, Vytran continues this leadership position with the automation of recoating and proof testing for high volume optical fiber processing. Various module configurations allow the customer to select among three types of recoat stations -manual, extended length manual, or automatic - and two types of proof test stations - rotary or linear. These stations can be ordered individually or in selected recoat/proof test combinations as listed in the Module Configuration table below.

PTR-200 Series
Stand-Alone Fiber Recoaters and Proof Testers


Module Configurations (Link to detailed information on module configurations).
  • MRC - Manual Fiber Recoater with Auto Injection
  • XLR - Extended Length Recoater with Auto Injection
  • ARC - Fully Automated Fiber Recoater
  • RPT - Rotary Proof Tester / Tension Tester
  • LPT - Linear Proof Tester
  • MRL- Combination Manual Recoater & Linear Proof Tester
  • MRR- Combination Manual Recoater & Rotary Proof Tester
  • ARL - Combination Automatic Recoater & Linear Proof Tester

All Modules offer a choice of control/display interface. The standard interface is a touch screen panel display that provides system status and programming capabilities. Vytran also offers a mini-controller display, which provides system status only. The mini-display is a common option for repetitive production applications where the operator does not need to change process parameters. If process parameters do need to be changed on a system equipped with a mini-controller, Vytran offers a hand-set controller that can be temporarily connected to the machine for re-programming. All modules can also be controlled directly over their RS-232 interface, providing easy integration into existing manufacturing control software.

Advantages
  • Flexible Splice Protection
  • High Density Splice Packaging
  • Long Term Reliability
  • High Volume Production Processing
