The FSM-100 series has the revolutionary design clamp system.
- No need to change V-groove or clamp part
- Programmable for any fiber or coating size
- Reliably captures fiber for good alignment
The FSM-100 series has two electrode positioning techniques in order to provide unprecedented versatility for each specialty fiber.
Patented “Split V-groove” clamping system
Fujikura’s new specialty splicers FSM-100M and FSM-100P offer a host of innovative technology to address the rapidly expanding splicing needs for factory,
manufacturing, laboratory and R&D applications. These models are introduced as “
” splicers due to their unique capabilities to control the plasma
zone of the fusion arc. These capabilities will revolutionize the way users will splice various types of specialty fibers; LDF, low contrast PM, holey structured, etc.
