45S Active Cladding Alignment Fusion Splicer

Designed for most fusion splicing applications, the next-generation smart 45S splicer boasts innovative features in a compact and robust package. Uniquely, the 45S introduces the next generation of rapid fusion splicing: Fibre preparation, stripping, cleaving, and setting in the splicer usually needs repeating separately for both left and right-side fibres. The 45S process does away with that and enables simultaneous fibre preparation thanks to the new SS05 double fibre stripper, the new AD-16A fibre adapter for the CT50 cleaver and the clever set plate mechanism of the 45S itself.

Wirelessly connecting to the CT50 fibre cleaver using Bluetooth technology, the 45S enables a range of pioneering functions that will improve the overall installation time, cost and efficiency for operators. The 45S offers installers the convenience of a 5″ colour touch-panel display, improved v-groove illumination and the benefit of easy splice protector positioning. The machine re-assures users of reliable splice results using CORE loss estimation using Warm Image Splicing Technology.

The issue of poor fibre cleaving due to worn, incorrectly adjusted or damaged cleaver blades is conveniently dealt with. When the 45S detects a high cleave angle or bad end shape, it sends a blade position change instruction to the cleaver The CT50 cleaver then rotates the cleaver blade automatically to the next position, restoring optimum cleaving performance.

By utilising the low radio power of Bluetooth technology, other equipment nearby will not be interfered with. Operators can benefit from the “always on” technology due to the low power consumption of the Bluetooth, which means that batteries can last for several months.

Our latest addition to the splicing family, the 45S, is flexible, smart and efficient and therefore makes a huge difference to this process. The easy-to-handle qualities of the solution means quick and simple splicing, with performance never being compromised.

In addition to cleave performance, the smart splicer can also wirelessly monitor battery and power usage of the CT50 cleaver. The 45S comes enabled with a touch screen menu as standard, but also maintains the traditional easy-to-use hard button navigation system. The splicer retains all of the unique, class-leading features from the current high-performance flagship line-up of Fujikura splicers, including: quick splice and heat times, fully ruggedised features, and user customizable settings.
