RESOURCES & FAQs

Optical Fiber Dies

Optical fiber coating dies and heads

Sancliff, Inc’s exclusive designs of optical fiber coating heads & dies available in both split and solid designs will move your coating application projects to the next level. Sancliff has been manufacturing Tungsten Carbide Coating Dies for the Optical Fiber industry since 1980. Sancliff has extensive experience manufacturing O/F Ribbon Shaped Dies. From 6F – 48F and beyond in both continuous and splittable ribbon shapes we can assist immediately with your most challenging applications.

Controlling optical fiber coating dies

Sancliff, Inc. Fiber Optic Coating Dies and Head Assemblies control the thickness and concentricity, as well as apply a protective layer of specified coating over the bare or coated fiber during the drawing or re-coating process. This protects it from the environment that the material will be exposed to. Applied acrylate or polyamide coatings on the bare glass or previously coated fiber also provide protection from mechanical damages such as cable or fiber bending, and/or kinking. This prevents the ingress of moisture into the microscopic flaws on even the most pure glass preforms.

Split optical fiber coating die applicators

A Split Coating applicator, also commonly referred to as a “Head” is a 2 piece split ID hole die that employs a stationary half of a coating chamber with a retractable side. When closed they form a pressure chamber to apply the coating to the chosen substrate. The coating chamber is open when the substrate is being aligned on the draw tower, and closed when the substrate is aligned in the coating chamber. The coating fluid is then fed into the chamber and the draw continues. Split Coaters are size specific to each mission, and therefore are most practical if the user is making short runs, or if jamming or substrate upsets occur often. The Split Coater is easy to maintain, clean and restart if jams or other draw problems occur.

Solid optical fiber coating die applicators

Solid Coating applicators consist of a body containing 2 sealed dies to form a coating chamber. The “Solid” refers to the ID hole of the die insert.  The dies are replaceable and interchangeable which allows the user to match Dies with substrates of different diameters and coatings with varying characteristics. Since the entrance and exit dies can be changed at will, these coaters are more versatile. They are preferred for longer runs and for runs where the substrates are less likely to jam, break or otherwise stop the draw prematurely.
