FIBER STRIPPER USE AND OPERATION
Turn on the thermal stripper and open and close the doors to warm up the unit and test
its functionality.
Place fiber into the holder as shown below pictures. The minimum stripping length
should be longer than 25mm.
900um
Fiber
Mount the holder containing the fiber onto the slider and close slide cover.
900um
Fiber
Once the thermal stripper covers are closed the fiber is heated up to the user selected
setting and the coating is stripped as the left side fiber sled slides away from the fixed
stripper base leaving the removed fiber jacket debris under the right side of the thermal
stripper on the stripper plate.
When stripping is completed, open the slider cover and remove the holder containing the
stripped fiber prior to opening the heater cover door as opening the heater cover door will
return the slider base to its original position.
Open the right-side heater cover door and remove any remaining coating residue from
thermal stripper surface and clean the blade areas using a soft brush for next operation.
Be careful in handling the gripper blade part as its sharp edge could cause injury.
