The York Model FK11 Electronic Fiber Cleaver, enables every cleave substantially less than one °.
Operation is simple. A stripped fiber is placed in specially designed low torsion V-groove clamps. Constant axial tension is then applied to the fiber with the flip of a lever. Cleaving is initiated by releasing another lever. 
A precision ground diamond blade is attached to a resonant acoustic stepped horn. The ultrasonic horn resonance is maintained by an electronic circuit for the duration of the cleave and then automatically terminated to preserve battery life. The ultrasonically vibrating blade moves slowly toward the tensioned fiber on stictionless damped bearings. Cleaving then takes place without the damage from compressive stresses and blade intrusion into the fiber that is typical of conventional cleavers. The adjustable diamond blade normally gives 20,000 cleaves, and is replaceable.
The patented anvil-less ultrasonic cleaving action minimizes fiber end contamination, hackle, and misting. This cleaving technique produces superb planar fiber ends of mirror quality.

纽约模型FK11电子光纤切割机,使每一个分裂大大小于1°。

操作很简单。剥离纤维放置在特别设计的低扭转v型槽夹具。然后,通过杠杆的翻转,在纤维上施加恒定的轴向张力。切割是通过释放另一个杠杆开始的。

一种精密研磨金刚石刀片连接在一个共振声阶梯喇叭上。超声波喇叭共振是由电子电路维持的持续时间的劈裂,然后自动终止,以保持电池的寿命。超声振动叶片在无粘阻尼轴承上向张紧纤维缓慢移动。切割过程中不会受到压缩应力和刀片侵入纤维的破坏,这是典型的传统切割方式。可调金刚石刀片通常可提供20000个切割片,可更换。

专利的无砧超声切割作用,最大限度地减少了纤维末端污染、梳理和雾化。这种切割技术可以生产出高质量的镜面光纤。
