The PTR-200-XLR features and extended length manual recoat mold designed for fiber grating and similar applications where longer sections of bare fiber need to be recoated. The standard recoat mold size is 260mm for nominal 250mm coating. Custom mold sizes are available from 200mm and up. The maximum recoat length is four inches (100mm). The PTR-200-XLR replaces Vytran's PTR-100L extended length fiber recoater, with the added feature of an automatic recoat injection system.
