Sagitta Cometx-BF Laser Cleaving System for Bare Fiber Cleaving & Stripping

Request a quote for the Sagitta Cometx-BF here.

Sagitta’s laser cleaving machine enables the cleaving of bare fibers with no need for consecutive polishing. The laser-cleaved fiber can be assembled directly into the next assembly phase and by saving time, increasing yield, and making the entire assembly process much easier.

Benefits of the CometX-BF

  • Reduces headcount by eliminating processing steps
  • No polishing equipment and accessories are required (and no maintenance on this equipment)
  • No abrasive consumable cost
  • High first-pass yield (less production management and repair)
  • Improves connector reliability – laser “tempers/anneals” fiber end face relieving inherent fiber stresses
  • Cleaves fiber types that are not readily mechanically cleaved
  • Larger OD core fibers
  • Prep for splicing of OD fibers
