MICROCOATER - extremely portable optical fiber recoating unit by NYFORS
Fiber Recoating & Prooftesting

MICROCOATER™

Description

The extremely small and lightweight MICROCOATER™ provides versatile recoating capability in situations where portability and flexibility are needed. Square silicone moulds are available in different sizes to cover a wide range of optical fibers and can easily be exchanged by the operator in a few seconds with no realignment of the system being required.

Short curing times are achieved through the highly efficient UV LED light source which enables fast processing of both standard high index recoating materials and more specialized low index compounds that are used in various high power applications.

The MICROCOATER™ is well suited for research and development operations and small-scale production where square-shaped recoating is compatible and the fiber type and dimension as well as the recoating material need to be changed frequently. It can also, thanks to the small size and built-in rechargeable battery, be used for recoating in a remote field environment such as an oil drilling platform, field service of fiber lasers and other fiber devices, and in other situations where a high degree of portability is required. The MICROCOATER™ has a simple two-button control and a clean and robust design, with programmable curing time.
