NOVA™ Bare Fiber Polishing System Datasheet

NOVA's flexible processing platform allows it to be configured for polishing bare fibers. Fibers can be polished at variable angles from 0 to 50 degrees using specialized workholders and adapters.

A variety of fiber types from standard singlemode to PM, and sapphire to PCF can be processed. A quick swap-out of adapters allow the polishing of fiber diameters from 80um to >3mm.

Optional video inspection systems monitor the polishing process and inspect the polished surface directly in NOVA. In-line viewing minimizes material handling and is a means to confirm endface geometry before removing the fiber from the machine.
