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 NOVA™ variable 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 NOVA™ Auto-Angle Workholders, Orbit™ precisely positions the polishing fixture at the designed angle on a repeatable basis.
KrellTech’s unique Universal Workholder supports all UPC connectors, ferrules, and Mil-spec termini in a single polishing jig. Components supported include SC, FC, ST, LC, MU, E2000, SMA 905, SMA906, M29504, LuxCis, ARINC 801, ELIO, MC5, RSC and many others.
Maximize production through-put with KrellTech's HiCap Workholders. Up to 28 UPC connectors can be quickly loaded and processed at a rate of 6 connector per second. An integrated pressure control mechanism guarantees positive contact across all connector endfaces.
These fixtures are designed to meet the stringent endface geometries such as flatness and fiber protrusion required for multi-fiber ferrules. Connectors supported include MT, MTP, MTO, MTx and MT-RJ. Both UPC and angled fixture are available. Fixtures also available to support MMC connectors with TMT ferrules. All fixtures feature fast and positive "tool-less" ferrule loading. Simply (1) retract the clamp, (2) insert ferrule and (3) lock the clamp. Like all Krell workholders these fixtures feature independent suspension for equalized pressure distribution and optical aligned ferrule holders for superior endface geometry control.
Plastic optical fiber (POF) workkholders can polish over 500 fibers in less than 5 minutes. Adaptable bushing design can accommodate a large variety of fiber diameters. This fixture also features Krell's patented independent suspension design for superior pressure control.
Workholders are available for all industry standard optical connectors. These include SC, FC, ST, LC and many others. Both UPC and APC endface geometries are supported. Adapters can also be used for bare fiber polishing in these fixtures. KrellTech’s engineering team develops customized polishing equipment for all applications and optical requirements. We have designed fixtures for products ranging from cannula and illumination bundles, to waveguides and fiber arrays. When requesting a quotation please provide detailed application specifications and attach all relevant drawings and information.
