Polyimide coatings are used in harsh environments; they are harder to remove than acrylate coatings. One may then apply special mechanical, thermo-mechanical or plasma systems. Fiber strippers are precision tools that reliably and cleanly remove a defined length of coating (often 30–40 mm) from a fiber end so that the bare glass is exposed without scratching or nicking it. Fiber. 3SAE Technologies designs and manufactures a wide range of high performance fiber optic stripping tools. Proper cleaning of optical fiber is critical in all fusion splicing applications and particularly in high strength fusion. 3SAE Technologies designs and manufactures the most advanced, high. The recently released Fujikura PCS-100 is a novel stripping tool for removing polyimide coating from optical fibers. Extensive testing on the stripping ability of this equipment has demonstrated repeatable high tensile strength values with narrow distributions, both for polyimide and. This study focuses on finding the cladding and coating stripping methods for four recent specialty optical fibers, namely: hard polymer-clad fiber, graded-index plastic optical fiber, copper/carbon-coated optical fiber, and aluminum-coated optical fiber. Several methods, including novel laser. 1. 2 The outer jacket is a lightweight, aerodynamically designed Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) material.
