The fiber cleaving machine LDC200 by Vytran LLC (TM) is capable of precisely cleaving optical glass fibers with diameters in the range of typically 80 - 1250 µm. Cleaving is performed with a high repeatability by tension-scribing on the cladding.

Fibers with special micro structures in the core (such as Photonic Crystal Fibers – PCF) can also be cleaved.

After manual loading and clamping of the fiber, a certain torsion on the fiber can be imposed by a motor (rotational accuracy up to 0.1°). By applying a defined torsion like this during the cleave process, slanted fiber cleaves of up to 15° vs. regular end faces can be produced, with a cleave-to-cleave repeatability of typically better than 1°.
