For sub-micron accuracy, reliability and consistent splicing for high power fiber optic lasers, material processors choose the ARCMaster™ series of fusion splicers. Whether you're welding, cutting, micro-machining, etching or soldering, no other company in the world understands fiber better than Fujikura. And, no other company listens more closely to customers with a focus on rapid delivery of next generation tools and technology to the market.

 

Industry experts understand that successful splicing begins with a good cleave, an area where Fujikura trully outpaces the competition. ARCMaster fusion splicer components are integrated for streamlined use. Using a patent-pending split-V-groove clamping system, the positioning system delivers unprecedented versatility for splicing large diameter fiber (LDF), heat sensitive or small diameter fiber. By calibrating the electrodes inside the splicer, the fiber is spliced in a flat, uniform manner for low loss.

 

Fujikura's revolutionary fiber imaging technology, Interrelation Profile Alignment (IPA), alignment and splicing capabilities are possible with virtually any polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber type. Longer fiber tapering application is possible with Fujikura's Sweep Arc technology. Incorporating profile alignment system (PAS) using cold fiber image and warm image technologies, the optical analysis system delivers improved loss estimation capabilities, fiber image performance with large or small diameter or heat sensitive fibers.

 

As high power fiber lasers continue to displace traditional lasers in the market, customers will benefit from AFL's vertically integrated operations and manufacturing capabilities that are well-suited to accelerate development of new splicers and cleavers while meeting evolving customer requirements.
