This unit
The Fujikura FSM-15S is an arc fusion splicer for precision joining of single-mode and multimode optical fibers in field and laboratory environments. It delivers consistent low splice loss through precision V-groove alignment, with typical values of 0.045 dB for SM fiber and 0.02 dB for GI fiber. The splicer accepts 250 and 900 micron coated fibers and requires 8 to 16 mm cleaved length per fiber. A built-in 3-inch LCD monitor with 100X magnification CCD viewing enables real-time dual-axis (X and Y) observation during splicing. Microprocessor-driven image processing performs automated splicing and loss estimation across all supported fiber types.

Fujikura FSM-15S — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Fujikura FSM-15S. Calibration covers arc calibration (arc power and duration), V-groove alignment verification, cleave angle detection accuracy, splice loss estimation accuracy, and heating oven temperature calibration. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Fujikura FSM-15S faults: electrode wear, V-groove contamination or chipping, motor alignment drift, high arc voltage errors. Common repairs include electrode replacement (typically every 2,000-3,000 arcs), V-groove cleaning or replacement, motor and actuator alignment, and camera/CCD replacement. Fujikura FSM and Sumitomo Type series parts are stocked.
