NOVA™ Photonic Component Processing System

Designed to support demanding photonic applications, NOVA™ combines multiple processing capabilities into a single, configurable platform, enabling manufacturers to achieve consistent, high-quality results across a wide range of component types and materials.

Engineered for versatility, the system supports precision processing of connectors, ferrules, waveguides, bare fibers, and other photonic components. Its modular architecture allows users to adapt the system to specific production requirements, whether optimizing for throughput, surface quality, or repeatability. By supporting industry-standard connectors and MIL-termini, NOVA™ integrates seamlessly into existing manufacturing workflows.

Advanced process control features—including tablet-based operation with Microfeed™ control—enable fine adjustment of processing parameters, ensuring repeatable results and reduced operator variability. Air polishing within the machine enhances cleanliness and process stability, while interchangeable fixtures provide the flexibility needed to accommodate diverse component geometries and applications.

NOVA™ is designed with production efficiency in mind. By consolidating multiple processing steps into a single platform, the system reduces setup time, minimizes handling, and improves overall yield. Compliance with industry standards such as Telcordia further supports use in high-reliability telecom and photonics manufacturing environments.

From R&D to full-scale production, the NOVA™ Photonic Component Processing System delivers the precision, adaptability, and control required for modern photonic component fabrication—helping manufacturers achieve superior optical performance, consistent quality, and scalable manufacturing success
