Orbit™ Bare Fiber Coning and Chisel System

Orbit enhances NOVA's bare fiber processing with conical and chisel tip shaping. Unique fiber tip geometries can be formed for lensing, sensing and light guiding applications.

The fiber rotation module can be mounted on standard NOVAvariable angle and waveguide workholders.  Fiber "spin" speed is user adjustable, and can be set for continual rotation or the unique "360 auto-reverse" motion that prevent fiber twisting and torquing.

All variables are entered and selected via a touchscreen on the Orbit controller.  When combined with NOVAAuto-Angle Workholders, Orbit precisely positions the polishing fixture at the designed angle on a repeatable basis.

Q
Can this system be used to create just an angled flat facet on a fiber tip?
A
Yes. The standard angle range is 0 degrees (flat tip) to 50 degrees referenced off the vertical.
