3SAE Technologies announces the industry's first automated fiber preparation unit - The AutoPrep

3SAE Technologies, Inc. has announced the release the industry's first automated fiber preparation unit - The AutoPrep - automated strip, clean and cleave in an amazing 9 seconds. At the core of the AutoPrep unit is the patented new burst stripping technology.

Burst stripping is a break-through process for stripping and cleaning polymer coatings from an optical fiber. By directing a single high velocity burst of super heated air directly at the fiber's coating, it is instantly vaporized and stripped while becoming perfectly cleaned without any incurring any damage to the fiber's bare glass. The delicate process of stripping, cleaning and cleaving a fiber is accomplished by the AutoPrep in a remarkable 9-second cycle time.

As high strength is a very critical factor in the service life of most optical components, the new burst technology process has shown no appreciable loss in fiber strength. Testing has proven that thousands of consecutive burst strips yield 99.9% at pristine fiber strength (approximately 750 Kpsi). The AutoPrep unit comes in a small bench top design and is able to accommodate all different fiber types and fiber diameters (80um to 900um coatings). It is designed to be 100% compatible with all commercially available fiber optic fusion splicers.
