PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT
Fiber Optic Center offers polishing machines from top manufacturers with a variety of designs
to handle any application. For the field, for research and development or for high volume
production, we can recommend, install and support the right machine for the job. For
example, the ability to adjust time, speed and pressure is preferable on a process
development machine, while the ability to set and lock these same variables would be
preferred on a machine used in production.
Polishing Machines
Field Machines
Field Machines need to be small, lightweight and run off their own power supply. These machines are set up to
polish just a few connectors at a time, as volume is typically not a concern. Some machines are specifically designed
to only perform minor repair work on damaged connectors.
Research and Development
Polishing machines for R&D may not need the capacity of a production machine but they do need the integrity to
maintain tight, variable control on time, speed and pressure. These settings have precise controls to give the user
the flexibility necessary for complete process development.
Production
Designed for continuous use, these machines, along with the right process, can consistently deliver high volume
output with near perfect yields. Time, speed and pressure controls are easily set and locked, allowing the user to
simply follow a pre-determined process. Some machines can automatically adjust pressure with real time feedback.
Others take automation a step further with CPU control and LCD touch screens. These units can securely store
multiple processes which display instructions at each step along with automatically configuring the machine’s
various settings. With each step fully defined and stored in the machine, process deviation is kept at the lowest
possible level.
Support and Service
We have a technical staff with actual production experience to assist you in your machine selection and to help you
develop a process to go along with it. If you would like a demonstration, we invite you to come and visit the FOC
lab equipped with all the latest technology or we may be able to arrange a demo to be shipped to your facility.
We also offer training services, again either in our lab or at your facility. If you purchase a machine from us, we will
make sure it performs to your expectation upon delivery and will continue to offer our support should any future
issues arise.
