Prior to splicing, coatings must be removed from glass fibers. With the GPST-1000, Lightel now introduces a coating stripper that can be used with almost all coating materials and fiber diameters (80 µm to 1200 µm). Coatings made of polyimides (PI), acrylate, or silicone are removed just as cleanly as two-layer coatings. Stripping is carried out completely contact free via a plasma, preventing chemical and mechanical damage and not impairing fiber strength.
The GPST-1000 can be operated in stand-alone mode without technical gases or compressed air. Software allows parameters for up to twelve stripping programs to be defined and stored, which are then executed fully automatically. This makes the GPST-1000 one of the most versatile and robust coating strippers on the market.
