Fiber Optic Drawing

Creating Consistency in Induction Manufacturing

Fiber optic drawing is the process of heating and stretching a glass preform into a hair-thin optical fiber. The material must be heated to extremely high temperatures with tight thermal control to ensure the finished fiber achieves the correct diameter, clarity, and strength. Even a small fluctuation in heat can affect bandwidth performance or structural integrity, making consistency a top priority in fiber manufacturing.

With Lepel, fiber optic drawing operations meet demanding optical standards. Induction delivers direct, controllable heat without physical contact, reducing contamination risks and enabling fast thermal adjustments throughout the draw process. The result is more consistent fiber, improved process efficiency, and reliable temperature stability at scale.

As a long-standing leader in induction solutions, Lepel supports manufacturers seeking cleaner energy transfer, better production control, and superior fiber quality.
