3 © 2013, AFL, all rights reserved PP-4-00067, Revision 3 , 4 14 16 Specifications are subject to change without notice Designed for high strength applications, the AutoCoater 2 restores the protective coating on spliced acrylate-coated optical fibers It is fully automatic, allowing for operator skill independence in factory environments with high productivity and cost advantages Recoating compound is injected automatically into soft silicone recoating molds identical to those used in NYFORS manual recoaters These silicone molds are easily & rapidly exchangeable with no realignment required With different sizes and custom molds available, the operator can not only easily exchange molds to meet requirements for different fiber and fiber coating diameters, but he can also choose whether to (a) recoat to a uniform diameter that exactly matches the original fiber coating diameter, (b) recoat with a cross section slightly smaller in diameter than the original fiber coating (undersize), or (c) recoat with a larger diameter that moverlaps the primary coating at each end of the recoat section (over-coating) With easy and rapid reconfiguration and simple setup, the AutoCoater 2 is the ideal choice for fully automatic skill-independent recoating operations where flexibility is required to meet many different recoating needs and specifications Rapid exchange of recoating resin type The customer selected recoating compound is automatically injected from an easily attached 1 oz Nalgene bottle, functioning as the recoater reservoir tank This greatly simplifies refilling in high volume production This bottle as well as the injection pump, supply lines, and injection needle comprise an easily exchangeable recoating compound “Dispensing Robot” The dispensing robot may be rapidly removed with only 2 screws and one electrical interface connection Since it can be removed and exchanged as a single unit, the need to purge or cleanse the injection pump and supply lines when changing from one type of recoating resin to another is completely eliminated Another option when using several compounds in parallel is to operate the recoater in manual mode, using a syringe for manual resin injection of recoating compound into the mold The combination of mold sizes and mold types (for uniform and undersize recoating as well as overcoating) and the simplicity of exchanging recoating compounds underscores the flexibility of the soft mold AutoCoater 2 as the most versatile and easily adaptable automatic recoater in the world Features • Consistent, high quality recoating • Automatic and skill independent • Short cycle time • Linear and mandrel strength testing • Uniform diameter, overcoating and undersize recoating capability • Easy exchange of recoating resin type • No need for compressed air or vacuum • Compatible with all common recoating resins including low-index and high temperature materials AutoCoater 2 ™ Dispensing Robot is easily removed from the rear of the AutoCoater for rapid recoat resin exchange Uniform Diameter Over-Mold (Over-Coating) Undersize Recoating

Le produit de recouvrement est injecté automatiquement dans des moules de recouvrement en silicone souple identiques à ceux utilisés dans les recouvreurs manuels NYFORS. Ces moules en silicone sont facilement & rapidement interchangeables sans qu'un réalignement soit nécessaire. Grâce aux différentes tailles et aux moules personnalisés disponibles, l'opérateur peut non seulement échanger facilement les moules pour répondre aux exigences de différents diamètres de fibres et de revêtement de fibres, mais il peut également choisir (a) d'appliquer un nouveau revêtement à un diamètre uniforme qui correspond exactement au diamètre du revêtement de fibres d'origine, (b) d'appliquer un nouveau revêtement avec une section transversale dont le diamètre est légèrement inférieur à celui du revêtement de fibres d'origine (sous-dimensionnement), ou (c) d'appliquer un nouveau revêtement avec un diamètre supérieur qui chevauche le revêtement primaire à chaque extrémité de la section de revêtement (sur-revêtement).
