Fiber optic technology has transformed the way the world communicates. From lightning fast internet to real time data transfer, everything links on perfectly prepared fiber connections. But before any fiber can perform at its best, it must be stripped with perfection and that’s where a high quality thermal fiber stripping tool makes all the difference.
At the heart of fiber prep is coating removal. Whether it's acrylate, polyimide, or tight buffer coatings, technicians need the right tools to remove them cleanly without damaging the fiber. Jonard Tools, a trusted name in fiber optic solutions, offers a lineup of advanced thermal strippers that make this fine process safer, faster, and more reliable.
Why Use a Thermal Fiber Stripper?
Traditional mechanical strippers can sometimes damage or weaken fiber, especially when dealing with specialty coatings or ribbon fibers. A fiber thermal stripper uses heat to soften the coating, making it much easier to remove without stressing or scoring the underlying glass.
This method:
Reduces breakage and microbends
Increases stripping accuracy
Supports a broader range of coatings and buffer sizes
Jonard Tools thermal strippers are engineered with temperature control, ergonomic design, and rugged construction perfect for both lab environments and field work.
Exploring Jonard Tools Thermal Stripping Solutions
Jonard offers a range of thermal fiber stripping tools, each tailored for different technician needs:
TSAB-40 Adjustable Blade Thermal Stripper
This tool offers accurate control over temperature and stripping time. It's ideal for varied fiber types, including coated fibers with diameters ranging from 30 μm to 1000 μm cladding and buffer diameters up to 1200 μm.
With its adjustable heat setting (up to 200°C), the TSAB-40 ensures coatings are removed cleanly and consistently, even for high temperature or cured applications.
TSFB-125 Fixed Blade Thermal Stripper
Designed specifically for 125 μm cladding fibers, this compact powerhouse delivers reliability and repeatability. Its fixed blade system is self centering and perfectly aligned for standard stripping jobs.
Like the adjustable version, the TSFB-125 heats up to 200°C, making it effective for removing standard coatings without harming the fiber core.
TFS-100 Handheld Battery Powered Thermal Stripper
Need a portable thermal stripper for the field? The TFS-100 is battery powered, heats in under 4 seconds, and can complete over 300 strips per charge. It’s designed to handle single fiber and ribbon fiber (2 to 12 strand), with multiple temperature settings and an automatic shut off feature.
Its aluminum body is lightweight yet durable, making it ideal for technicians on the move.
Where Thermal Strippers Make a Difference
Thermal strippers are crucial in environments where:
Coatings are thick, cured, or baked on
Ribbon fiber is used for high density networks
Minimal fiber stress is required (e.g., high speed data or military grade lines)
High stripping precision is non negotiable
From telecom installations to lab grade testing, a Jonard thermal stripper streamlines fiber prep and reduces the risk of rework.
