Fiber Optic Curing Oven
Coplanarity matters when using / MT Array Fiber
End Face Geometry | Fiber Core Dip | Geometry Limit Parameters | MT Coplanarity Minus Coplanarity (or Minus-Side Coplanarity) is one way to describe how “flat” or “co-planar” an array of fibers is. To guarantee the minimum optical performance requirements of the telecom world, it is vital to make sure that all fibers in a…
Read MoreFiber Undercut / Protrusion / Tips!
Undercut and Protrusion Polishing Support Tip: Using material that is too aggressive for final polishing could lead to excessive undercut. The wrong final polish material could also cause excessive protrusion, leading to fiber chipping and cracking during the connector mating process. 100% Spec Requirements = Feature Protrusion Deformation Coplanarity Process Control Regardless of the connector…
Read MoreFilm: The fundamentals for a basic polishing process!
These steps require process control during daily production to improve first-pass yield, efficiency, and costs. Knowing and trusting your process with each step provides ROI. Process Control and JIT-type delivery make it happen. Focus on preventive action, not corrective action. As you develop your fiber optic polishing process, I encourage you to implement a statistical…
Read MoreAre YOU having difficulty achieving a polishing finish? Film Cost Rising too?
We offer a polishing film that is cost-effective and works. *We provide FREE evaluation sample Film when available for Polishing Process evaluation and confirmation. Lapping is the removal of material to produce a smooth, flat, unpolished surface. Lapping processes produce dimensionally accurate specimens to high tolerances generally less than 2.5 µm uniformity. The lapping plate…
Read MorePrevent fiber height issues. Why remove material and fiber at the same rate?
We have over 60 years of combined experience with film and the polishing process. We work closely with our customers to develop and resolve process control issues. Diamond for coarse grinding and refining 66P Diamond Lapping Films are designed to provide consistent high-quality surface finishes in lapping applications for hard surfaces. This product series is…
