Vertical Elongation Equipment
The Vertical Elongation Equipment is designed for precise elongation of quartz rods and tubes used in optical fiber manufacturing. The system allows controlled drawing of rods to achieve consistent diameters and lengths while maintaining material quality.
This vertical setup supports stable traction methods, either direct-drive or continuous drawing, ensuring smooth and uniform elongation throughout the entire process.
Optimized for industrial production, the system offers:
Controlled rod/tube elongation with high precision
Flexible traction and synchronization options
Compatibility with various rod and tube sizes
The Vertical Elongation Equipment operates by drawing quartz rods or tubes vertically under controlled conditions, allowing for precise adjustment of diameter and length. The system supports both mechanical and electrical synchronization for process accuracy.
The equipment accommodates rods with diameters from 90–130 mm and output rods from 50–80 mm, with lengths up to 9 meters. This flexibility allows the production of rods for different types of optical fiber preforms.
Designed for industrial-grade stability, the system can operate with direct-drive traction or continuous drawing methods, ensuring smooth movement and minimal material stress during elongation.
The robust vertical frame structure maintains mechanical stability during long-duration operation, and the system can be integrated with upstream sintering or deposition equipment and downstream processing lines.
Operator control panels allow precise adjustment of speed, traction, and synchronization, ensuring repeatable results and high process efficiency.
