Used / Refurbished York PK FK11 / Ericsson EFC 11 4 Fiber Cleaver

The York PK FK11 / Ericsson EFC 11-4 Precision Fiber Cleaver produces flat, clean, low end-angle cleaves every time. That means low-loss, high-strength fusion splices, optimum performance of packaged devices, and consistent results in measurement applications. The York PK FK11 / Ericsson EFC 11-4 will also minimize the time required to make splices and maximize the output of test systems that rely on high-quality cleaves.

The most revolutionary aspect of the York PK FK11 / EFC 11-4 is the ultrasonic cleaving action. A precision diamond blade is attached to a resonant acoustic-stepped horn. The ultrasonic horn resonance is started and maintained for the duration of the cleave by an electronic circuit. It is then automatically terminated to preserve battery life.

The ultrasonically vibrating blade moves slowly towards the tensioned fiber on stictionless damped bearings. Cleaving takes place without the compressive stresses and blade intrusion into the fiber that is typical of conventional cleavers. This revolutionary new cleaving technique produces superb planar ends of mirror quality with no hackle.
