THERMO-MECHANICAL STRIPPING FOR STANDARD AND LARGE FIBERS
3SAE Thermal Stripper – High Strength
The 3SAE Thermal Strippers are compact, easy-to-use fiber stripping units designed to thermo-mechanically remove coatings from optical fibers. The heater is adjustable up to 200 °C; far hotter than any competing product. This feature facilitates stripping extremely difficult and baked-on coatings and in some cases can even remove fluoroacrylate undercoatings. Our High Strength Thermal Stripper supports standard 125 μm optical fibers, including 250 μm, 400 μm, and 900 μm coated fibers. Adjustable temperature and time settings allow it to adapt to stripping a variety of different coatings. The precision, self centering blade design produces high strength stripping performance unmatched by previous flat blade strippers.
Our Adjustable Thermal Stripper supports optical fibers with cladding diameters from 30 μm to 1000 μm, with buffer diameters up to 1200 μm. This includes standard 250 μm, 400 μm, and 900 μm coated fibers. Adjustable temperature and time settings allow it to adapt to stripping a variety of different coatings and cladding sizes.
