Fujikura, the leader in splice technology, launched new core alignment 90S+ and active cladding alignment 41S+ fusion splicers. These are true marvels of modern technology development.

After extensive worldwide research regarding the causes of most faults when splicing, FUJIKURA found the answer to be 1) bad cleaves, and 2) bad splices which results in redos.

The most common cause of bad cleaves are dirt on the blade and also a worn blade. Fibre alignment has to be absolutely precise when splicing. Cheap equipment, bad cleaves, non-calibrated equipment and dirt are some of the causes of bad splices.

Fujikura’s new Smart Management Technology includes Active Blade Management Technology (ABMT) and Active Fusion Control Technology (AFCT). ABMT utilises Bluetooth communication with the CT50 cleaver to manage intelligent cleaver blade rotation when the blade is worn. AFCT features ‘True Core Alignment’ via Advanced Image Processing Technology (AIPT), which is a type of AI technology to enhance splice quality under all conditions. This feature is also used on the 41S+ with cladding alignment. The combination of both technologies provides stable low loss splicing.

Fujikura splice kits feature user-friendly operation, ultimate robustness, Smart Management Technology, new concept electrodes, universal tube heater, carry case, removable work tray, easy maintenance and fully automated four-step splicing with dual heater oven-element on the 90S.
