Splicing workstation

The lds-1250 splicing workstation uses a filament fusion technology for splicing optical fibers with diameters as large as 1250 microns. The unit incorporates a tungsten filament "furnace" assembly that provides a stable, high-temperature heat source. Machine vision combined with a PC-controlled three-axis positioning system provides automated fiber alignment and splicing, as well as a platform for the fabrication of optical components such as lenses, tapers, and thermally expanded core fibers.
