CLEAVEMETER 2™
Description
The CLEAVEMETER 2™ is a non-contact interferometer designed for inspecting the end-faces of cleaved or polished optical fibers with cladding diameters of 125 µm to 1200 µm. It gives immediate information on important end-face properties such as flatness, perpendicularity, hackles and dust. Sampling tests as well as continuous process documentation can be carried out both easily and quickly, making this an ideal instrument for cleaver inspection and optimization.
The optical system is based on a high-resolution camera with true megapixel resolution and very high sensitivity, yielding excellent image quality at high frame rates and high magnification. Switching between low and high magnification is software-controlled. High-precision optics guarantees sharp and clear images and fringe patterns with very little aberration.
The CLEAVEMETER 2™ comes with user-friendly and efficient software available in two different versions – standard and premium. Standard software features include cleave angle measurements with in-picture presentation of results, user-defined markers at points of interest, pseudo-colour mode for better constrast and the ability to log information, save and load images to and from files. The premium package includes support for the measurement of plane angles and fiber diameters as well as compensation for adaptor plate angle error for increased accuracy.
Adaptor plates are available for both perpendicular and angled cleave measurements. The mechanical design is compatible with all NYFORS automatic fiber cleavers and accepts the fiber holders used with those machines as well as those of major splicer manufacturers. Customized adaptor plates are available upon request.
The CLEAVEMETER 2™ comes in a small ergonomic, bench-top design and connects to the USB port of a PC running the host application.
10 % of measured cleave angle (200-529 µm)
5 % of measured cleave angle (530-1200 µm)
NYFORS part number: 30100012
* Measurement accuracy without/with adaptor plate angle error compensation. The latter level of accuracy requires adaptor plate angular errors to be measured/compensated for on the individual CleaveMeter™ the holder is used with.
