Used ASM 308 #9162236 for sale

ASM 308 is an automated fiber bonder designed for manufacturing fiber-optic components. The quartz chamber is designed for the highest precision joining of optical fibers, providing an automated, fast, and accurate alignment of optical fiber speeds up to 1.3 m/s. 308 utilizes an automatic vision equipment for precise fiber alignment. The vision system is capable of positioning the fiber ends to within +/-1 micron accuracy. ASM 308 has a temperature-controlled chamber to reduce thermal drift and ensure a consistent weld. The welding unit is capable of producing welds with a strength of 10,000 mN or higher. The machine also includes a camera alignment tool which is used to align the fibers into their proper positions through camera guidance and a probe detection asset. 308 has high accuracy motorized stages for precision fiber positioning and focused laser illumination, and a combined 45 degree mirror and microscope for the 5-axis kinematic adjustment. The reliable and repeatable production process includes parameters such as focusing, laser power, oxidation protection, pre- and post-weld inspection, and burr removal. The weld process can be customized to ensure fiber weld quality for each customer's specific application. The fiber positions are dynamically adjusted to ensure alignment accuracy and a perfect weld by using features such as auto-focus, XY motors, auto-weld detection, surface image analysis, and overall weld process control. Overall, ASM 308 is a precise and reliable fiber bonder that offers optimum fiber alignment and weld quality. It provides a precise and repeatable process every time and allows fiber welds to be produced with great accuracy. 308 is a valuable tool for the rapid production of a wide range of optical components.
