Configurations and applications
The modularized design of the CW-5000 allows the machine highly flexible for different applications.
Six interchangeable platforms can cover most current fused fiber applications. Lightel can design/build
custom workstations based special requirements.
For processing of 1~2 fibers, including 1x2,
2x2 coupler fabrication (using fiber twisting
approach), as well as various single fiber
processing applications
A parallel fixture is added to the Base Platform
to allow coupler fabrications using parallel
fiber approach, configurable for 1x2, 2x2, 1x3.
All functions of the Base model are included
in Base Plus.
A pair of manual rotators is added to the Base
Platform for fiber rotation after fusion (to
improve coupler performance, such as the
WDM coupler channel-isolation, etc.).
All functions of the Base model are included
in Rotation Platform.
A special platform for PM products. It includes
two additional motors for PM fiber orientation
alignment as well as special software control.
