“With this new model, Fujikura has focused improvement in two major areas: speed and reliability. To increase efficiency, both the wind protector and tube heater have been motorized. The tube heater clamps the splice protection sleeve from both sides, resulting in shrink time of an impressive 14 seconds,” commented Greg Pickeral, product manager, fusion splicing systems for AFL.
The Fujikura 70S fusion splicer offers several enhanced features:
- Motorized wind protector and tube heater with the world’s fastest heating times
- Long-life electrodes provide 3,000 splices
- High resolution, 4.73-inch color LCD monitor with 300X fiber magnification for improved visibility in low-light conditions
- Configurable automation allows the user to customize the automated functions
- Powerful Li-ion battery supports 200 splices and heating cycles with each full charge
- World’s first six-direction drop-proof design with fully ruggedized rubber casing
- Dust- and rain-proof design provides superior protection
- Innovative transit case design with detachable, built-in worktable
- Video guides for operation and troubleshooting incorporated into the splicer software
- Short cleave length of 5 mm allows versatility for splice on connectors or small packaging splicing needs
The Fujikura 70S is also fully compatible with the FuseConnect line of splice-on connectors. The sheath clamps are easily removed for FuseConnect installations or for use with fiber holders for standard splicing applications.
