This unit
The Fujikura FSM-20PM is an arc fusion splicer engineered for precision splicing of polarization-maintaining (PM) fibers alongside standard single-mode (SM) and multi-mode (MM) fibers. Advanced image processing and internal microprocessor automation handle fiber gap setting and core/cladding alignment to achieve low splice loss. The splicer operates on AC100–240V, 50–60Hz or DC10–12V and includes automatic arc calibration in AUTO modes for enhanced performance across multiple fiber types.

Key Features
Automated core/cladding alignment eliminates manual positioning variability
Single platform handles PM, SM, and MM fibers without hardware reconfiguration
Electrode pairs operate as matched sets for consistent arc discharge quality
Three-prong grounding required via supplied AC power cord
Safety glasses mandatory during operation due to fiber fragment generation
Typical Applications
Telecommunications infrastructure requiring polarization-state preservation
Research environments where PM fiber interconnection is critical
Aerospace systems demanding high splice reliability and low loss
Compatibility & Integration The FSM-20PM accepts PM fibers per standard specifications alongside conventional SM and MM fibers. Controller interfaces include dedicated AC and DC power cords plus control signaling. Instruction manual covers all safety protocols and operational procedures prior to commissioning.

Fujikura FSM-20PM — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Fujikura FSM-20PM. 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-20PM 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.
