Vytran's SAS-200 is a unique hot acid stripper that removes a variety of coating types, from acrylate to polyimide. It can also be used to center-strip, or "window-strip" a fiber, a common process in fiber Bragg grating manufacture. SAS-200 strippers are efficient, safe systems that remove all coating while maintaining the intrinsic fiber strength.
SAS-200 uses hot sulfuric acid to remove a fiber's coating which is a process long regarded as the ultimate high-strength stripping method. The acid is distributed via a mini robotic stripping head that automatically performs all steps required to strip and clean the fiber. "Waste" acid is immediately diluted and stored in a closed container for disposal. SAS-200 systems strip fiber sections as long as 40 mm.
