Field Polishing Machine

240 volt version now with "CE" Certification

As a compact version of the Advanced Polishing Machines, the Domaille Field Polishing Machine (FPM-HDA-600) can be transported for on-site fibre optic cable installation and emergency repair use. It is designed to achieve the same accuracy as the larger machines, but with fewer features.

Features:

Cycle Start Button allows the operator to initiate the cycle.
One Digital Countdown Timer ensures precise control and process repeatability. Since platen speed is not programmable and this operates at a constant speed, the timer and the force adjuster are the only variables that control the polishing process.
Robust Design uses the highest-quality materials such as hardened stainless steel and hard-coated aluminium.
Force Adjuster slides mechanically and locks into place. This allows the operator to change the platen force to meet varying specifications of fibre optic terminations.
Cable Management System routes cables away from the polishing process.
Requires 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz for operation.

The picture above shows a polishing fixture located on the 'overarm'. The black slider on the overarm adjusts the polishing pressure. The digital timer control and on/off buttons are located in a drop-out panel on the front of the machine.

In these 3 pictures, the carrying and storage case seen in the background is included with each machine supplied.
Overarm raised to allow ferrule cleaning between cycles.  

The Field Polishing Machine accepts the same polishing fixtures as the HDC-APM-5100 machine.
