Fujikura: Affinity AFS1000 Automated
Fusion Splicer
The AffinityT AFS1000 Automated Fusion Splicing System is
designed to meet the needs of today's optical manufacturers. The
AFS1000 system is the fastest automated fusion splicer on the
market today. It strips, cleans, cleaves, splices, and
proof-tests optical fibers - completing a splice every 40
seconds. Through the combination of proven Fujikura splicing
components and technology, and automation expertise from NEXT
Fiber Systems, the AFS1000 provides a cost-effective solution
for optical manufacturers looking to boost productivity, improve
quality, reduce rework, and increase production flexibility.
The AFS1000 uses a LabVIEWTM based operating software that
enables processing of multiple fiber types simultaneously. Its
moving pallet design accommodates various opto-electronic module
sizes using minimal fiber length. The system utilizes a fiber
handling pallet that interfaces with key functional stations
operating in a parallel mode. These stations include thermal
stripping, high-efficiency cleaning, precision cleaving and
fiber splicing.
