Request InfoAFLAFL’s LAZERMaster is a glass processing and splicing system that uses a CO2 laser heat source rather than electrodes, ensuring repeatable performance and low maintenance, and eliminating electrode or filament maintenance and instability. Splicing or adiabatic tapering can be performed with glass diameters of 2.3 mm or more. The high resolution optical analysis system works in conjunction with on-board firmware for fully automatic splicing, tapering and other glass shaping processes. The LAZERMaster system is intuitive and very easy to operate. Operations may also be performed manually...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPromoted Content January 2023 IssueLAZERMaster® LZM-125A+ Splicing SystemAFL's LAZERMaster® LZM-125A+ Splicing System is a glass processor and fiber ablation machine that uses a CO2 laser heat source to perform splicing, tapering (to create MFAs), lensing, or other...Photonics.com 2/14/2023Fiber Splicing SystemThe LZM-125A+ LAZERMaster® Splicing System from AFL is a glass processor and fiber ablation machine that uses a CO2 laser heat source.
