Sumitomo TYPE-36

T-36 Fusion Splicer

The Type-36 is one of the smallest and fastest core alignment fusion splicers available today. It s a portable, fully automatic, self-contained instrument for creating low-loss optical fiber splices in both field and factory environments. Sumitomo s innovative dual microscope fiber observation system eliminates the need for mirrors, providing faster operation and reduced damage potential. It is designed to work with a variety of fiber types including single-mode, multimode, dispersion shifted, and other specialty fiber. Type-36 is the only fusion splicer in the industry offering an optional modem for splicer remote interactive maintenance (S-RIM).

HDCM (High-resolution Direct Core Monitoring) image processing software in the splicer is used to perform core alignment and estimates the splice loss. The splicer automatically aligns a pair of fibers in both the X and Y (horizontal and vertical) planes and then fuses them together with heat from an electric arc to form a low-loss splice.

Features:

• 25-second Average Splicing Cycle Time
• Portable, Fully Automatic Splicing With Loss Estimation
• The Dual Microscope, Mirror-Free Fiber Observation System Speeds Up Cycle Time and Increases Optical and Mechanical Reliability
• Simple Clamping Fiber Chucks Hold Up to 900 Micron Fiber
• Splicer Remote Interactive Maintenance (S-RIM), Allows Software Upgrades and Machine Diagnostics via High-Speed Modem, Reducing Downtime and Keeping Your Splicer on the Job
• Largest Image Magnification Available (280x)
