FITEL S185 · SYSTEM DESIGNER

Do not select a splicer alone. Design the complete process.

Specialty fibers require more than the right heat source. Holder geometry, surface preparation, end-face inspection, coating restoration and parameter verification all matter. That is why we created an interactive configurator for the FITEL S185 family.

Applications

One form, multiple research profiles

The configurator lets you select several applications and fiber families. Each profile keeps its own geometry, cladding diameter and coating diameter.

01 / HIGH POWERFiber lasers and LDF

Large diameters, PM-LDF fibers, combiners and power-delivery fibers.

02 / SDMMCF and multicore fibers

Orientation control and end-face imaging for structures with asymmetric markers.

03 / MICROSTRUCTURESHCF, PCF and capillaries

Delicate geometries that require control of heat input and microstructure collapse.

04 / POLARIZATIONPM, sensing and quantum

Alignment of birefringent structures and rotation control before splicing.

05 / COMPONENTSEnd caps and components

Process selection for lenses, tapering and non-standard glass components.

06 / R&DMultiple projects in one laboratory

The coverage matrix shows when a second platform or a 3SAE system is required.

Complete workflow

From preparation to verification

The result does not stop at the splicer model. It also covers the equipment required to build a repeatable process.

The configurator is a preselection tool. The final model, holder and splicing recipe must be confirmed using the actual fiber geometry and an application sample.
