NorthLab ProCleave LD II

Automatic Fiber Cleaver for Large Diameter Fibers

The ProCleave LD II is an automatic fiber cleaver for large diameter optical glass fibers up to 550μm. The cleaver is specifically designed for use in production environments where operational simplicity, process speed, and a high throughput are crucial. The ProCleave LD II can be programmed with four cleave programs, easily selectable by the touch panel. The ProCleave is equally suited to R&D environments and use of the PC control software gives the engineer on-the-fly parameter control expediting the cleave optimization process.

ProCleave LD II generates very flat end-faces and low cleave angles (typical <0.5°) with high repeatability. To achieve optimal cleave performance and consistency all crucial parameters are automatically monitored and controlled. The ProCleave LD II is designed with a universal clamping mechanism which is self adjusting to the fiber diameter applied. Due to this unique optical fiber clamping system, no external parts or accessories are required.

The ProCleave LD II brings portability to the process as this fiber optic cleaver is powered from an external power supply or the built in rechargeable battery with an easy to read battery meter.
