Key Features
- Core-Alignment
- 3-body types to meet your specific ergonomic needs
- World’s Fastest Splice Time – 11 seconds
- Refined Splice Chamber design for easy fiber placement and protection from
dirt and dust.
- Short Cleave Lengths (5-16mm)
- Fiber holder system available for 250/400/900um fibers, allowing greater
precision and consistancy.
The S167CR has the protection sleeve heater at the front and the monitor and
keypad at the rear. The windshield opens from front to rear for easy removal or
transfer of the splice to the protection sleeve heater. The S176CR can be
powered by an insertable battery or AC/DC converter and comes with a
wedge-shaped base.
Super Fast Splice Time: 11 Seconds!
Fitel's best selling
S175 V.2000 fusion splicer provided an industry leading splice time of 17
seconds. Now, the S176 series completes the same process in a blindingly fast 11
SECONDS! Power up your production!!
Enhanced Automation
Just select the "Auto Start Mode" - a
feature unique to Fite l- and the S176 initiates the splicing process
automatically when the windshield is closed.
Need Specialty Fiber Splicing?
The S176 comes with 42
pre-installed splicing programs, providing optical component manufacturers with
programs for specialty and dissimilar fiber splicving (CS980, EDF, NZDSF,
etc.)
Need Short Cleave Lengths?
The S176 has ultra narrow
v-groove blocks, which allows the user to utilize 5mm cleave lengths (only for
250um fiber), minimizing the length of bare fiber and allowing for the use of
micro-protection sleeves.
Ergonomic Design:
The S176 comes with a detatchable,
wedge-shaped base that tilts the splicer forward for easy access to the splice
chamber. It is designed specifically to reduce neck and back fatigue associaated
with high frequency work. Also, the S176 offers "Reversible Operation". The
monitor of the splicer can be rotated up or down and the image flipped. This
allows the operator to use the splicer from the front or back sides.
Short Cut Key:
You can program the Short Cut Key to call
up any funstion in one step.
Protection Sleeve Heater:
The heater can accept
micro-protection sleeves (20mm) along with conventional 40mm and 60mm sleeves.
Also, you can order the unit without the heater. A cover plate replaces the
heater, or an optional accessory can be fixed in its place.
Optional Fiber Holder System:
The fiber holders provide
greater ease-of-use and consistency by allowing for precise positioning of the
fiber durring stripping, cleaving, and splicing. You can order this feature
pre-installation or as an aftermarket accessory.
Variety of Power Sources:
Either an AC/DC converter or
battery can be inserted in the body without wiring. An external, large capacity
battery is also available as well as a DC power adapter for car batteries and
cigarette lighters.
