Vytran's FAS is a flexible automation platform that can fully automate a wide variety of opto-electronics manufacturing processes such as creating fiber Bragg gratings, fused fiber couplers and fiber lenses. One of FAS' primary applications is automating optical fiber fusion splicing, a fundamental yet critical manufacturing process required for most optical assemblies. FAS can be configured with various "toolbox" modules for stripping, cleaning, splicing, recoating, and proof testing to create a high-volume manufacturing system. A total of up to six modules can be loaded in the FAS, including a power meter module for automating all optical measurements. As a result, the FAS can be efficiently transformed to accommodate changing production requirements.
The foundation of FAS systems is our proven filament fusion technology-the industry's most reliable method for creating high-strength, low-loss splices. The automated splice process, from stripping to proof testing, is performed efficiently and consistently in less than two minutes. All modules are programmable through a single machine interface that provides real-time process control and convenient network and database access.
