Quartz Glass Rods

Name: Quartz Glass Rods
Brand: Shenzhen Solar Valley Scitech Development Co., Ltd.

Quartz rods are essential for optical communication devices, matching optical fibers in thermal expansion and excelling in precision, hardness, and environmental resistance. Utilized in optical couplers, fiber welding protectors, and lasers, their fabrication involves cleaning, then heating in a graphite furnace under inert gas, followed by pulling, drawing, and cutting. This process yields transparent, dimensionally accurate rods ideal for mass production, significantly lowering costs and enhancing quality.

Features of Quartz Rods

Material: high-purity fused quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO2) content >99.9%, softening point >1650°C, high strength, high wear resistance, high light transmittance.
Usage Properties: The quartz rod is melted and drawn at high temperature. The surface is transparent, which eliminates surface micro-cracks and local surface hidden cracks in the optical fiber positioning holes. The quartz rod has high strength and is not easy to crack and break when dispensing glue to fix the optical fiber. The dispensing is qualified. The rate is high.
Environmental Properties: The hydroelectric composite wire drawing production process does not use any chemical solvents, and the material and production process do not contain or involve controlled substances required by the EU RoHS directive and Reach regulations.
Quality Stability: Through the closed-loop control of the CNC host, feeding mechanism, traction mechanism, and laser rangefinder, quartz rods with the required diameter and inner diameter can be accurately drawn. The precision consistency is very high and the production stability is excellent.
Customized Structure: Using a high-precision grinder to finely grind the quartz rod plane, various structures can be customized to meet the requirements for connecting and fixing optical devices.
