The Type-36 is one of the smallest and fastest core alignment fusion splicers
available today. It’s a portable, fully automatic, self-contained instrument for
creating low-loss optical fiber splices in both field and factory environments.
Sumitomo’s innovative dual microscope fiber observation system eliminates the
need for mirrors, providing faster operation and reduced damage potential. It is
designed to work with a variety of fiber types including single-mode, multimode,
dispersion shifted, and other specialty fiber. Type-36 is the only fusion
splicer in the industry offering an optional modem for splicer remote
interactive maintenance (S-RIM).
HDCM (High-resolution Direct Core Monitoring) image processing software in
the splicer is used to perform core alignment and estimates the splice loss. The
splicer automatically aligns a pair of fibers in both the X and Y (horizontal
and vertical) planes and then fuses them together with heat from an electric arc
to form a low-loss splice.
Features:
- 25-second Average Splicing Cycle Time
- Portable, Fully Automatic Splicing With Loss Estimation
- The Dual Microscope, Mirror-Free Fiber Observation System Speeds Up Cycle
Time and Increases Optical and Mechanical Reliability
- Simple Clamping Fiber Chucks Hold Up to 900 Micron Fiber
- Splicer Remote Interactive Maintenance (S-RIM), Allows Software Upgrades
and Machine Diagnostics via High-Speed Modem, Reducing Downtime and Keeping
Your Splicer on the Job
- Largest Image Magnification Available (280x)
