3SAE Thermal Stripper-Extended Rail (TS-ER)

High Strength and High Strength Adjustable Thermal Stripper

The 3SAE Thermal Strippers are compact, easy-to-use optical fiber stripping units designed to thermo-mechanically remove coatings from optical fibers.

The High Strength Thermal Stripper supports standard 125 μm optical fibers, including 250 μm, 400 μm, and 900 μm coated fibers. Adjustable temperature and time settings allow it to adapt to stripping a variety of different coatings. The precision, self-centering blade design produces high strength stripping performance unmatched by previous flat blade strippers.

The High Strength Adjustable Thermal Stripper supports optical fibers with cladding diameters from 30 μm to 1000 μm, with buffer diameters up to 1200 μm. This includes standard 250 μm, 400 μm, and 900 μm coated fibers. Adjustable temperature and time settings allow it to adapt to stripping a variety of different optical fiber coatings and cladding sizes.

Both High Strength and High Strength Adjustable Thermal Strippers are available with an Extended Rail which provides extended stroke for stripping fibers up to 225mm for various applications including optical gratings, optical couplers and fiber optic combiners.

3SAE’s complete line of preparation tools, including the 3SAE Thermal Strippers, are configurable for use with Fitel, Fujikura, 3SAE or Ericsson fiber holders. Use of fiber holders provides a repeatable handling process across strip, clean, cleave and splice equipment for high strength fusion splicing and improved yield.

3SAE’s complete line of fiber holder compatible preparation tools incorporates the 3SAE Thermal Stripper, 3SAE Ultrasonic Cleaner, and 3SAE fiber cleavers.
