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.
