Curing Ceramic Fiber
Curing Ceramic Fiber
Benefits of Fiber Optics Sealing with Induction
Induction meets tight production tolerances delivering precise localized heat to small areas creating pinpoint accuracy. The process increases production rates with faster heating cycles, reduces defect rates with repeatable, reliable heat and eliminates variability from operator-to-operator, shift-to-shift.
fiber optics sealing Application Notes
Select from our collection of fiber optics sealing notes, developed over 39 years supporting our customers. Read how we helped to solve their process heating challenges!
Soldering Ferrule and Module Assembly
To heat ferrule and module assemblies for a soldering application in the fiber optics industry.
A special steel tube and coil combination is used to build an induction heating oven to cure the fiber on a continuous basis. The ceramic fiber travels in an alumina tube inside a hot steel tube
Melting Glass for Fiber Drawing
To heat a metal susceptor vessel to 2200 °F within 25 minutes with induction for a fiberglass melting application
Heating a Kovar Ferrule for Glass Soldering
The solder formed a relatively uniform domed seal around the fiber despite the asymmetry of the open C coil. It took under 10 seconds to heat the part to soldering temperature
Hermetic Sealing a Ferrule & Fiber Optic Cable
To heat a Kovar ferrule and fiber optic cable to 297 °F within 10 seconds for a soldering application, to form a hermetic seal
Solder Fiber Optic Cable to Ferrule & Preform
Induction heating provides rapid localized heat only where needed, repeatable, consistent results with clean, controllable joints
Hermetically sealing a fiber optic cable in a kovar ferrule
Induction heating provides instant start up time, requiring very little power resources, pin point accuracy, a clean source of heat which is easily integrated into existing automated systems
Soldering fabric to kovar tip assembly
A three turn pancake coil is used to heat the tip of the cone to 300 °F (149 °C) in 2-3 seconds
Soldering a kovar piece with glass to a copper base for a photon light source
Induction heating provides ability to use same equipment for both assembly and repair, hands-free heating that involves no operator skill for manufacturing, and uniform control of heat from part to part
