To meet the small package requirements of OEMs, AFL offers the FSR-02 fiber recoater. The FSR-02 eliminates the need for splice protection sleeves by automatically recoating a colored or non-colored fiber back to the original coating diameter after a splice is complete. Programmable for recoating lengths from 4 to 50mm and proof testing from 4 to 20 Newtons, this unit stores data for 100 cycles which are easily downloadable to a PC. For splices that may fail the proof test, the breaking load is displayed. A compact and low profile design makes for comfortable bench top operation in the factory environment.
