™ FiberForge All-in-One Component Workstation Forging tools for fiber optics Designed to minimize bench space and maximize utility, the FiberForge™ is a useful platform for research activities, new product development, and the manufacturing of both standard and novel fiber components. As new applications and markets emerge, there is a need for a versatile method of “forging” new tools. User-friendly software provides customization of many parameters, allowing unique combinations of heating and pulling. Fiber diameters from 80µm to 400µm can be processed with the FiberForge™, covering most fiber optic applications. Lightel has over a decade of experience in the design and manufacture of coupler workstations for fused biconic taper (FBT) applications. Based on the proven technique of using a high temperature flame as the heating element, our equipment supports the production of commercialized telco and R&D activities worldwide.
