Technology
NYFORS develops sophisticated and innovative products used for fiber pre- and post processing in high strength and specialty splicing operations. During our thirty years in business we have accumulated technical knowledge covering most aspects of these fields, with expertise in optical fiber stripping, recoating and cleaving as well as production system automation.
Besides developing and producing standard products, NYFORS also undertakes custom engineering projects. These projects have in the past included automatic systems for high volume optical fiber gyroscope manufacturing and solutions within specialty fiber splicing. We have development facilities and a state of the art optical fiber laboratory in Stockholm, Sweden, from where we support customers and partners around the world.-
Fusion splicing NYFORS offers fusion splicing solutions utilizing clean and contamination free CO₂ laser heating. It is one of the most versatile product platforms designed for the manufacturing of high power and sensitive photonics components.
-
CO₂ glass shaping CO2 laser based glass processing for contamination free and localized heating. For high power and sensitive photonics components in applications such as splicing, tapering and fiber to end-cap splicing.
-
Low-index recoating The newly introduced optical fiber recoater platform from NYFORS can cure and efficiently process low index recoating compounds with high quality results. Silicone moulds are available for common double-clad coating diameters.
-
Submarine cabling and telecom recoating Undersea optical fiber cable manufacturing places high demands on recoating quality and long term reliability. NYFORS recoaters restores the protective coating to a diameter that closely matches the original fiber outer diameter in a process free of micro bubbles.
-
Specialty cleaving NYFORS produces sophisticated equipment for cleaving and inspecting the quality of cleaved large diameter and speciality optical fibers. The stable mechanical design in combination with patented tension and scribe cleaving technology ensure consistent results with low cleave angles.
-
Silicone mould technology Recoating with silicone moulds provides user flexibility and ensures high quality results. It enables the creation of specialized recoat shapes for demanding applications such as undersea optical cable and fiber laser manufacturing.
-
High precision fiber cleaving NYFORS is a leading supplier of high performance optical fiber cleavers, all designed and based on our proven and patented tension and scribe cleaving technology. Low maintenance requirements and high production yield.
-
System automation Products from NYFORS are designed for automatic fiber handling in volume manufacturing systems. They have a high degree of automation and open interfaces for easy integration with other processing steps.
-
End-face Inspection / Interferometers NYFORS provides tools for end-face inspection of cleaved or polished fibers. Precise cleave angle measurements and 3D reconstruction of the end-face with customizable software that allows for the definition of fail/pass criteria and analysis of specific cleave features.
