Fujikura Polyimide Coating Stripper PCS-100

The Fujikura PCS-100 is a mechanical polyimide coating stripper engineered for safe, consistent removal of coatings from optical fibers. It replaces hazardous chemical and thermal methods with precision mechanical stripping, eliminating the need for hot sulfuric acid or open-flame techniques. The system handles single fibers with cladding diameters from φ60 to 1200 μm and coating diameters up to φ1500 μm, delivering repeatable results critical for splicing and termination operations.

## Typical Applications

Polyimide-coated optical fibers in oil & gas and medical industries benefit from this stripper’s damage-free removal capability. Applications requiring splice preparation and connector termination on heat-resistant and chemically stable fiber coatings are primary use cases.

## Compatibility & Integration

The PCS-100 strips polyacrylate, polyimide, carbon-coated, and gold-coated optical fibers. Standard package includes fiber holder FH-100-150. Optional fiber holders and replacement blade cartridges (PCB-01, 50-piece boxes) accommodate extended coating diameter ranges.
