12 Jan. Custom solutions for specialty-fiber production
Nextrom offers customizable manufacturing solutions for special preforms and optical fibers – including for lasers, sensors, filters, and ring resonators. The portfolio covers all process steps involved in manufacturing proprietary preforms and includes special glass working, sleeving, and collapsing lathes that are tailored to the MCVD and PCVD (modified/plasma chemical vapor deposition) methods used in specialty-preform production. The preforms are then processed into fibers on Nextrom’s state-of-the-art fiber draw tower. According to the supplier, this allows almost every conceivable type of special fiber to be manufactured.
According to the supplier, the draw tower is designed to enable the production of almost any conceivable type of specialty fiber. For quality control, a specifically engineered proof tester is available to check the tensile strength of the fibers, thereby guaranteeing the quality standard of the production lines. As Nextrom emphasizes, the company’s solutions for the production of specialty fibers and preforms are used worldwide – at universities as well as by commercial manufacturers.
