Note:
The burst stripping process creates a transition from coated fiber to uncoated fiber
typically in a taper shape less than 375um long. The strip movement may need to be adjusted
to compensate for this taper on each side of the window to create a specific length of the
window strip
Fiber Up Position
This is a distance from the home position that will tell the elevator to raise the fiber out of the
path of the heater. This will affect the left side interfaces. When set to 0, this feature is turned
off.
Air Off Position
This is a distance from the home position that will tell the heater when to turn off the burst.
This can be set to a value either before or after the strip end position. This will affect the left
side interfaces. When set to 0, this feature is turned off.
Vacuum Pre Delay
This parameter sets a delay for the vacuum/exhaust system. Setting this will turn on the
exhaust before the stripping process.
Air Pre Delay
This is the length of time the heater is allowing hot air flow before it starts to translate down the
fiber. If this value is set to 0ms, the heater air flow will turn on and the heater will translate
immediately. The purpose of this parameter is to change the transition shape. Increase this
parameter in increments of 10ms from 0ms to create a sharper transition. A longer time will
give a straight interface instead of a taper. However, a longer pre-delay time will also
decrease the strength of the fiber. Therefore, start at 0ms and increase this only if needed.
Start Speed
This is the heater movement speed during the ramp time. The heater starts at this speed and
ramps to the set strip speed parameter. For most applications, this value should be equal to
the strip speed.
