Optical Fiber Recoater FSR115/116/117
Restore protection at a fusion-splice point with ultraviolet (UV)-curable resin. Select the recoating length, proof-test capability and clamping method, then configure the mould and fibre-height adjuster for the required diameter.
Choose the recoater configuration
Confirm with us: specify the original coating diameter, required recoat diameter and length, proof-test requirement and required clamp method. The recoater, recoat mould and fibre-height adjuster are selected together.

Why the FSR115 series
Faster recoating
The redesigned pump reduces UV-resin injection time. Fujikura reports a 25% shorter overall recoating time than the previous model under its stated test conditions.
Improved length repeatability
The recoat mould uses an air-vented U-groove to support smoother resin flow and more repeatable recoating length.
Centring and mode suggestion
The fibre-height adjuster supports centring in the mould. RFID-tagged moulds let the recoater suggest a suitable stored programme.
Choose protection, geometry and proof-test need together.
Research laboratories, fibre-laser and sensor teams may prioritise a particular reconstructed coating diameter or the FSR115L’s longer 100 mm recoating length. The appropriate mould and height adjuster are as important as the recoater body.
Manufacturing teams often begin with the required proof-test range and clamp method: FSR116 provides flat-clamp proof testing; FSR117 provides the higher mandrel-clamp range. Confirm the fibre and handling requirement before locking the process.
Configure the complete system
- Recoater body
- Recoat mould selected for the required recoat diameter and length
- Fibre-height adjuster selected for the coating/recoat geometry
- UV-curing resin and suitable bottle
- Proof-testing configuration where required
Official operating notes
FSR115, FSR116, FSR117 and FSR115L support automatic recoating with exchangeable quartz moulds. Coloured and non-coloured fibres can be recoated.
The catalogue's performance figures are tied to stated resin, fibre and environmental test conditions. Confirm the configuration and consumables with us for the intended application.
