Fiber Coating Stripper
Based on our patented Gliding-Plasma Stripping Technology, Lightel has developed the GPST-1100 stripper for easy stripping of optical fiber coatings. Offered as an enhanced version of our GPST-1000, the GPST-1100 allows the stripping of multiple fibers (up to 5) simultaneously on almost all types of fiber coatings, including 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 and its non-contact process eliminates the risks associated with chemical stripping and blade-based mechanical systems. An optional mechanical stripper is offered to remove secondary coatings (high-power optical fibers often have multiple protection layers) prior to GPST operation. As a solution provider, Lightel will support different stripping recipes for different fibers.
Product Features
