Optical transport network testing added
The industry's most compact portable test solution combines optical transport network (ITU-T G.709) and next-generation Sonet/SDH testing capabilities
This spot-curing system has a small footprint and long lamp life, which enable customers to save on bench space and operating costs.
User-changeable optical filters allow the unit's broad spectral output to be tailored to specific applications, while protecting heat-sensitive substrates.
Filter changes are made externally without having to turn the unit off.
"This entry-level system is the direct result of customer feedback over the years," said Allan Firhoj, general manager of Exfo Photonic Solutions.
"Some customers don't necessarily need a full-fledged system for their low-volume, manual-precision assembly applications.
As a result, our R and D specialists have designed a unit to meet these specific requirements in a cost-conscious marketplace." The Exfo Lite delivers power with control.
Output intensity and exposure times can be set from the user-friendly front panel.
The new nine-pin I/O port allows the user to control the unit externally.
Internal control systems maintain optimum operating conditions to insure reliable, repeatable cures.
Exfo claims to be the industry leader in light-based, adhesive spot-curing as well as curing process control for the manufacturing of fiber-optic, opto-electronic, and micro-electronic components, as well as other research applications.
Its products deliver precise doses of the appropriate spectral light onto photosensitive and heat-cured adhesives to significantly reduce bonding time and increase repeatability.
