Pneumatic Optical Fiber Clamp
This clamp is part of a system providing precision and flexibility for fiber optic processing. 

Our experience is with high volume automated FBG manufacturing. The requisites met are:

Smooth frictionless elastic clamping motion with adjustable speed via pneumatic flow control.
Specially designed groove as fiber seating surface preventing fiber delamination even at high forces.
High friction groove surface provides rigid coating gripping for maximum axial strain transfer to the fiber in tensioning applications.
Kinematic groove installation for repeatable placement and alignment.
Ensured clamp interchangeability with high precision machining.
Flexible mounting options on 2 reference surfaces.
Flexible pneumatic port options from any of the 6 sides of the clamp.
