How do you maintain the height of the platen during spinning? Basically my concern is if the platen is wobbling or randomly going up and down, it will damage the fiber. Thanks!

Our rotating platen (in which polishing film is placed on a glass disk/rubber pad) lies directly upon the polisher baseplate. Both consist of aluminum that is ground to a high level flatness tolerance. Additionally, a quality control run-out measurement inspection(i.e. up/down movement) is perform

How many connectors can I polish simultaneously?

You can polish up to 12 connectors simultaneously.

We are looking for a desktop fiber polishing machine capable of polishing form about 300µm up to 2000 µm fibers. Ideally fiber advancement should not rely on gravity. Only 0° angle polish. Are there any demo units available in Germany/Europe?

Krell offers several polishing systems for bare fiber applications. Our local representative will be reaching out to you with more information and a quotation.

Do any of these machines have to be calibrated? If so, can you provide information on how often and who calibrates the machines. Thank you

For your application and system set-up, there is no need for routine calibration. You can confirm system alignment using the videoscope inspection system and measurement software. If polish angles deviate from your target specifications, the workholder provides the means for in-house adjustment.
