We are looking for a desktop fiber polishing machine capable of polishing form about 300µm up to 2000 µm fibers. Ideally fiber advancement should not rely on gravity. Only 0° angle polish. Are there any demo units available in Germany/Europe?

Krell offers several polishing systems for bare fiber applications. Our local representative will be reaching out to you with more information and a quotation.

Hello, We currently have a Nova polishing system in our lab, but we do not have the adapters to enable bare fiber polishing. I was wondering if it's possible to purchase just the adapters for bare fiber polishing relevant to our application to adapt our current system. Thanks!

Yes, we offer bare fiber adapters for all Krell polishing machines. We will send you a quotation.

Hi, we are looking into polishing both FC/PC and FC/APC fibre connectors. Do we need both the FC/APC NOVA™ Workholder and NOVA™ Universal UPC Workholder for FC/SC/ST/LC/MU/SMA Connectors, or does the universal workholder cover FC/APC too? Thanks in advance

You will need two NOVA polishing workholder fixtures for your FC/PC and FC/APC connector application.

We have a orbit bare fiber polishing system but the holders we have on accommodate a 125um polyimide to 155um. Now we are using a 125um fiber coated with single layer acrylate bringing dia up to 175um. Do you offer chisel tip fiber holders that will fit a 175um fiber?

Yes, we can fabricate Fiber Adapters for fibers with diameters from 80um to >2mm. We will send you a quotation for a 175um Fiber Adapter.

Hi, I'm interested in polishing the edge facets of sapphire-substrate photonic chips. I would like to know which polishing pads are available to polish sapphire (available grain sizes etc) and how to order them.

Sapphire components require diamond polishing film. We will send you a listing of available diamond grit abrasives.
