Can a fiber terminated in a stainless steel tube or medical cannula be polishing with this workholder jig?

Yes, but the tube diameter must be between 1mm and 3.2mm.

Can this recover damaged connectors to Telcordia specifications?

Proton's actively aligned workholders are designed to achieve Telcordia geometries on ferrule endfaces.

Can this polisher be used in a lab?

Yes. We offer a stand for benchtop/table operation.

Of the four abrasive materials you offer (silicon carbide, aluminium oxide, silicon dioxide, cerium oxide), which material do you recommend for polishing 125um diameter optical fibre (PANDA PM and SM)?

The suggested film types will be dependent upon whether the fiber is being polished bare, or if connectorized. Silicon carbide and aluminum oxide are typically used for bare fibers. Connectorized fiber uses silicon carbide, diamond and silicon dioxide. Please advise your required film diameter.

We have a orbit bare fiber polishing system but the holders we have on accommodate a 125um polyimide to 155um. Now we are using a 125um fiber coated with single layer acrylate bringing dia up to 175um. Do you offer chisel tip fiber holders that will fit a 175um fiber?

Yes, we can fabricate Fiber Adapters for fibers with diameters from 80um to >2mm. We will send you a quotation for a 175um Fiber Adapter.
