New Bedford, MA, USA, February 2, 2019 – Fiber Optic Center, Inc., (FOC), an international leading distributor specializing in helping their customers make the best cable assemblies in the world, announces Schleuniger FO-7010 Kevlar Cutting Machine joining the Cable Prep station.
The FO-7010 Kevlar Cutting Machine cuts and removes Kevlar fibers from fiber optic cables. Kevlar, used as a strength member, is very difficult to cut with common tools such as scissors. Schleuniger’s patented system easily separates and draws the Kevlar into the cutting head, where it is severed. An efficient vacuum system with a micropore filter disposes of the separated Kevlar, ensuring that no fibers are inhaled by the operator.
