Fiber Optics Soldering with Induction

Our applications laboratory has considerable experience with a variety of soldering applications and would be happy to review your fiber optics soldering application.

Induction fiber optics sealing Benefits

Meets tight production tolerances with precise localized heat to small areas creating pinpoint accuracy
Increases production rates with faster heating cycles
Reduces defect rates with repeatable, reliable heat
Eliminates variability from operator-to-operator, shift-to-shift
Maintains metallurgical characteristics of the individual metals

Curing Ceramic Fiber

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

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
