Fiber Optic Inspection Equipment
Dirty or damaged fiber optic connectors are some of the most common optical network problems. Many businesses rely heavily on optical fiber cabling, so being able to test its quality to ensure network performance can be critical. Founded in 1961, Taymer has installed 1,938 inspection systems in 55 countries and is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
Taymer International has a wide range of fiber optic solutions that help you troubleshoot broken links, with ongoing testing and maintenance that leads to more efficient and reliable fiber optic network deployment.
Solutions for Fiber Optics
Taymer provides advanced vision systems for defect detection in fiber optic product manufacturing. Our solutions are engineered to inspect and verify critical features in fiber optics, including marking bands, color sequence, and planarity on ribbons, as well as dimensional control of glass preforms and fiber strands.
Our fiber optic inspection equipment allows technicians to accurately inspect fiber end-faces for contamination, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. Additionally, our unique band inspection tool is the only system available for automatic quality inspection on coloring lines.
Whether for installation or maintenance, our fiber optic inspection tools help identify defects and ensure efficient network performance. If you’d like to learn how our technology can support your fiber optic manufacturing needs, contact us today to speak with one of our engineers.
BI1800 Band Inspection System
The BI system is the only tool available to automatically inspect band quality on fiber and small wire lines. This will help you reduce costs in your production facilities through reduced rework and quality assurance.
GS2100 Camera Inspection for Glass Fiber Preform
The only tool that can continuously measure the glass preform rod for fiber optic cables during the stretching process to ensure the resultant preform diameter is both consistent and accurate.
RI2400 Fiber Ribbon Inspector
The Ribbon Inspector’s continuous capture mode of operation provides the operator with up-to-the-second digital image feedback of the current status of the fiber optic ribbon.
ZT5000 High Speed Diameter Measurement and Lump Neckdown Gauge
The High-Speed Lump and Neckdown Inspector is the only tool that can provide images of your lumps and neckdowns on bare wire and fiber.
Frequently Asked Questions
What fiber optic defects can Taymer’s inspection systems detect?
Taymer’s fiber optic inspection systems detect band coverage and marking defects, fiber ribbon color sequence and planarity issues, glass preform diameter inconsistencies, and lumps or neckdowns on fiber strands.
Can Taymer inspect fiber end-faces for contamination?
Yes — Taymer’s fiber optic inspection equipment allows technicians to accurately inspect fiber end-faces for contamination, helping ensure optimal network performance and reliability.
What is band inspection and why does it matter for fiber optic coloring lines?
Band inspection verifies the quality and coverage of marking bands used to identify individual fibers on coloring lines. Taymer’s BI1800 is the only system available for automatic quality inspection on coloring lines, reducing rework and manual quality checks.
Does Taymer only make inspection equipment for fiber optics, or other materials too?
Taymer also manufactures inline inspection systems for wire and cable, pipe and tube, 3D printer filament, medical tubing and devices, metal, and packaging applications, in addition to fiber optics.
