This video outlines how to remove, install and burn in a new or newly refurbished filament for a Thorlabs’ Vytran FFS2001 All-in-One Fiber Preparation and Fusion Splicing Workstation. While the video uses a legacy FFS2000 Series Workstation, all features, functions, and terminology are identical for the FFS2001 Series.
To build a complete workstation, a base unit needs to be bought plus additional components (e.g. inserts, graphite V-grooves, and recoat mold assembly) that depend upon the size of the fiber being processed. It is recommended that you contact us prior to ordering so we can provide assistance with selecting the system and components that best suit your needs.
