Industry Standard And Custom Polishing Fixtures For Specialized Photonic Components
Workholders for most connector types support UPC and APC geometries, with bare fiber adapters available. KrellTech also designs custom fixtures for specialized applications.
KrellTech offers a comprehensive catalog of Industry Standard and Custom Polishing Fixtures designed to meet the rigorous demands of the medical, aerospace, and sensing industries. While workholders are available for all standard connectors such as SC, FC, ST, and LC, the company’s expertise lies in creating bespoke solutions for products ranging from glass ferrules and micro glass blocks to complex fiber arrays. These fixtures are engineered to provide lab-grade endface geometry on nearly any component, regardless of its shape or material composition.
For clients with highly specialized requirements, KrellTech’s engineering team develops customized equipment tailored to specific application drawings and technical specifications. Past custom solutions have included polishing workholders for medical cannula, high-power connectors, and specialized aerospace termini such as M29540 and Luxcis. Many of these fixtures incorporate unique features such as length control mechanisms or adjustable carriers for large and odd-shaped components. By leveraging Krell’s signature independent suspension and optical alignment processes, these fixtures allow users to achieve superior, repeatable finishes while minimizing material handling and component risk.
