Why CT114/115/116

Close view of the CT115/116 automatic backstop position control.

Automatic backstop

CT115 and CT116 detect the backstop position and move it to the correct position automatically for stable cleaving and reduced setup time.

Close view of the CT114/115/116 automatic blade-position change mechanism.

Automatic blade position change

The blade position changes automatically after a specified number of cleaves to support consistent low cleave angles.

Fujikura FH110 fibre holder used with CT114/115/116 for radio-frequency identification programme selection.

RFID programme selection

With compatible FH110 holders, the CT115 series reads holder information and selects a pre-assigned cleaving programme.

BrightEmber Application Guidance

Start with the fibre geometry and required end-face.

Research laboratories, fibre-laser teams and sensor developers may need the broader CT115/116 cladding range, automatic positioning and a controlled angled-cleave route. CT114 is the concise choice where its 660 µm range is sufficient.

For factory work, insert selection is fundamental: cladding and coating diameter determine the insert. Confirm the fibre, handling method, end-face requirement and cleave length before standardising the model and holder configuration.

Official operating range

  • Fibre count: single fibre
  • CT114 cladding diameter: 80–660 µm
  • CT115/116 cladding diameter: 80–1,250 µm
  • Cleave length: 5–40 mm
  • CT116 supports angled cleaving
  • Colour liquid-crystal display (LCD) gives progress and recommended insert size

Configure the complete system

The standard configuration does not include inserts. Select inserts according to the fibre coating and cladding diameters. The holder route is the fibre-holder adapter, FH-100 or FH110 series.

Confirm the appropriate insert, fibre holder and available options with us for the quotation.
