A leading innovator and provider of flexible automation solutions
Optical Fiber Machines
Berkeley
Process Control produces products used in the design and manufacturing
of optical fiber. The manufacturing of optical fiber requires a high
degree of precision and sophisticated control. Manufacturers have
traditionally used costly techniques resulting in low production yields
and inconsistent quality.
Berkeley offers integrated solutions for automated optical fiber manufacturing
systems that help reduce manufacturing times, increase yields and
enhance the quality of the fiber. These products address a wide spectrum
of applications in the fiber optic manufacturing process, from the
pre-draw, draw and post-draw process. Our products address a wide
range of needs, ranging from Preform Lathe and Draw Tower controls,
to complete Fiber Rewind and Prooftest machines, and the world's fastest
Transferring Take-up Machine.
Berkeley has addressed the needs of the optical fiber manufacturing
industry since 1988. Our motion control technology and machine design
expertise have helped our customers to significantly increase the
productivity, quality and capacity of the manufacturing process.
RM50
Fiber Rewind Machine w/ Prooftest
The RM50 represents the latest in optical fiber rewinding technology.
This prooftesting rewind machine will run at speeds up to 50 m/sec,
while prooftesting at 200 kpsi. Incorporating Berkeley's latest motion-and-machine
controls, this rewinder is capable of zero tension winding and boasts
automatic-edge correction capabilities.
FST40
Transferring Take-up Machine
The FST40 is the world's fastest transferring take-up machine, capable
of runtime spool-to-spool fiber transfers at 45 m/sec. This transferring
take-up incorporates an assisted load/unload mechanism to allow users
to handle larger spools of fiber. Combined with on-the-fly transferring
of fiber, this allows for longer uninterrupted pre-form draws.
