These are generically referred to as “Fiber Strippers”. There are a variety of tools available to strip these Buffers, from simple hand tools to heated hand tools (softening the Buffer tube, making it easier to strip), to fully automated tools. For splicing, connectorization or other processing, these coatings must be removed. Fiber strippers are precision tools that reliably and cleanly remove a defined length of coating. These fiber buffer stripping tools provide a quick, easy, and reliable way to remove the buffer from an optical fiber in preparation for connectorization. Eventually, this imperfection can initiate a crack when the. The AutoStripII is designed for fast, chemical-free window stripping of acrylate coated optical fibers. The PWS provides high performance polyimide coating removal from optical fibers in a partial vacuum. The FPU II, provides non-contact, chemical-free window stripping and end stripping of. Utilizing SAE Technologies' patented “Burst Technology™”, this system accomplishes the often difficult task of window stripping fibers with acrylate coating diameters up to 1,000 µm. Fiber strippers such as our JIC-1022, Wire Stripper 10-22 AWG, are designed to cut and strip the most commonly used stranded and single pair wires from 10 to 22 AWG and 2.
