FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RENTON, Wash., January 23, 2017 — Lightel® today announced that its new gliding plasma fiber coating stripper is available for shipping.
Based on our Gliding Plasma Striping Technology, Lightel has developed the GPST-1000 stripper for quick and easy optical fiber coating stripping. The GPST-1000 allows operators to effortlessly strip almost all types of fiber coatings, including the most stubborn ones such as carbon or polyimide.
This unit supports both end-stripping and window-stripping with adjustable stripping lengths. The strip is clean with sharp edges. The non-contact process maintains high fiber tensile strength while eliminating the risks associated with chemical stripping and blade-based mechanical systems.
