This video outlines how to recoat fibers on a Thorlabs’ Vytran FFS2000 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 must be purchased plus additional components (e.g. inserts, graphite V-grooves, and recoat mold assembly) that depend on the size of the fiber being processed. We recommend contacting us prior to ordering so we can provide assistance with selecting the system and components that best suit your needs.
