Product Details

A thermal fiber stripping tool removes the acrylate coating from an optical fiber by warming it just enough to soften the bond, so the coating slides off without the blade ever scoring the 125μm glass beneath. This matters because every nick a mechanical stripper leaves becomes a stress point: the fiber may pass initial inspection, then fracture at the splice or fail months later under tension. For high-reliability splicing, thermal stripping protects the fiber’s tensile strength in a way cold stripping cannot guarantee.

Aevumix supplies thermal fiber stripping tools built for consistent, damage-free coating removal in the field and on the bench. Controlled, temperature-regulated heating suits standard 250μm and 900μm coatings and tight-buffered fiber, leaving a clean, residue-free cladding surface ready for cleaving. Because a pristine, unscratched surface is the foundation of a low-loss fusion splice, a thermal stripper pairs naturally with your cleaver and splicer as part of a controlled preparation chain — removing the microcracks that raise splice loss and back reflection.

Whether you are specifying a thermal stripping tool for a single splicing kit or standardizing coating removal across a crew, our team helps you match heater profile, groove size and power option to your fiber types and workload. Send your coating diameters and duty cycle and we will recommend a configuration and provide a quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

A thermal stripper warms the coating so it releases without a blade touching the glass, avoiding the surface nicks a mechanical stripper can leave. Those nicks are stress concentrators that weaken the fiber and can cause it to break at the splice or fail later under tension.

Thermal stripping tools handle common 250μm and 900μm acrylate coatings and tight-buffered fiber. Tell us the exact coatings and buffer types you work with and we will confirm the right heater profile and groove size.

Done correctly it leaves a clean cladding surface, though a wipe with lint-free wipes and optical solvent before cleaving is good practice. A residue-free surface is essential for a low-loss splice.

Yes. We offer battery-capable thermal stripping tools for van-based and aerial work as well as mains units for the bench. Send your working conditions and we will recommend a configuration.
