Glass and Optical Fiber

Accurate, repeatable production of high-purity glass optimizes optical fiber production and maximizes transmission, accelerating the transition to 5G.

Fabricate high-purity preforms and draw low-loss glass and optical fiber

Use mass flow to regulate the flow of inert, shielding, and dopant gases with greater control than standalone valves.

  • Automatic adjustment to ambient atmospheric conditions. Prevent batch losses in outdoor draw towers with valves that respond quickly to changes in weather or barometric pressure.
  • Full batch-to-batch repeatability. Highly repeatable flow of fuel and shielding gases guarantees final product consistency.
  • Lowest lifetime cost of ownership. Industrial communication provides preventative maintenance metrics, while compatibility with a wide range of flows and gases minimizes the need for spares.
