About the MiniCoater™
The MiniCoater is used to restore the primary coating on spliced optical fibres with acrylate coatings. Due to the mould design the restored part of the coating has almost the same diameter as the original coating.
The mould can be exchanged in seconds. No alignment is required after exchanging the mould. The fibre will be automatically centred when it is inserted into the mould. Moulds for various sizes of coating diameters are available and can also be made to customer specified sizes. The mould can typically be used for 30 to 80 recoatings depending on the type of acrylate used and handling.
To facilitate the insertion of the fibre and the recoating resin, the mould can be opened with the aid of a lever.
The resin is cured through the walls of the transparent mould. The typical curing time is 15 to 60 seconds depending on the type of polymer and the length of the recoated part.
