LDC401 & LDC401A Automated Cleavers
Both the LDC401 and LDC401A include a micrometer that can back up the fiber during cleaving, particularly useful
for large-diameter fibers. The LDC401A incorporates a Rotary Stage that can rotate the right Fiber Holding Block
in order to twist the fiber and produce an angle cleave. Please note that it is not possible to add Angle-Cleaving
capability to the LDC401.
The illustrations below show the differences between the LDC401 and LDC401A.
