fiber optic thermal stripper
A fiber optic thermal stripper is a specialized tool designed for precise removal of protective coatings from fiber optic cables. This essential device operates by applying controlled heat to soften the coating material, allowing clean and damage-free stripping of optical fibers. The thermal stripper maintains precise temperature control, typically between 150-200°C, ensuring consistent and reliable performance across different fiber types. The tool features precision-engineered stripping holes that accommodate various fiber sizes, from 250 microns to 900 microns, making it versatile for different applications. Modern thermal strippers incorporate microprocessor-controlled heating elements that provide rapid warm-up times and stable temperature maintenance throughout the stripping process. The ergonomic design typically includes a comfortable grip and easy-to-use mechanism that minimizes operator fatigue during extended use. Advanced models often feature digital temperature displays and adjustable temperature settings to accommodate different coating materials. The tool's heating mechanism is carefully calibrated to soften the coating without affecting the glass fiber's integrity, ensuring optimal signal transmission quality after stripping.
