OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES
Optical Technologies Power Technologies Thermal Management
Optical, Power and Thermal Management Technologies represent
the biggest technological challenges facing any engineer.
Our three key competencies Optical, Power and Thermal
Management have no logical bits and bytes, nor industry
qualifi cation standards. Hence the design of a system and the
choice of the right technology, supplier and products can only be
based on knowledge and experience in those fi elds.
There are manifold fi elds of applications in our key markets
Medical
Industrial
Renewable Energies
Research & Scientifi c
Defence & Aerospace
where we serve
AMS Technologies has built a comprehensive knowledge base in
those three key competencies, enabling us to provide customers
with complete solutions. Over and above the mere product support
for standard products, our solutions can include:
The development together with the customer of specifi cation
sheets for customized components, subsystems, modules and
systems, all based on customer needs
Effective project management of any customized product
development
Higher level design services for system-level prototypes
Interdisciplinary system-level integrated design comprising all
three key competencies:
Optical, Power and Thermal Management Technologies
Appropriate subcontractor selection and production support
for system-level integration
Proper vetting of technologies and suppliers
Simulations and modeling of system-level designs
Installation, training and servicing of equipment and
instrumentation
AMS Technologies’ solution approach has helped hundreds of customer projects to move from concept to production.
Helping you to understand our capabilities, we invite you to browse a list of the many projects that we have successfully
completed over a timeframe closely approaching 30 years.

WHERE TECHNOLOGIES MEET SOLUTIONS
Gluing is an essential technological process in many industrial technologies. The state-of-the-art adhesives are especially designed to meet the wide range of applications, while highly specialized. They are simplifying bonding processes, guaranteeing high processing speed combined with high reliability.
They are used for bonding of optical components where the adhesive is index matched to the components which has to be glued together. Special glues are developed to fi x fi ber in v-grooves. The refractive index is precisely controlled and can vary from low to high realizing a perfect optical match of materials.
Another group of adhesives is designed for sealing of optical components. To improve long-term reliability in mechanical protection and moisture prevention, optical devices are housed in protective cases of metal, plastic, etc. The reliability, especially in moisture resistance, of optical parts is greatly infl uenced by the characteristics of the sealant used for the openings and case junctions of the protective cases in the devices.Curing conditions can be different, using either heat or UV light to reach the maximum on bonding power.
All adhesives shown in this brochure provide• fast cure• strong bonds to glass, metal, ceramics and plastics• low shrinkage • low stressAMS Technologies is distributing the products of two optical adhesives suppliers NORLAND and NTT-AT, covering with their portfolio most of the applications.

The ramp cure technology is for elimination of fi ber cracking
especially on larger core fi bers by utilizing ramp and soak cycles.
This signifi cant advancement is useful for large core and multi-
fi ber applications. It also allows for the potential to standardize
on one epoxy for various applications by customizing time and
temperature profi les.
Active alerts including automated text messages and emails
may be sent to production or technical staff when the curing
cycle ends or if there are any notifi cations. A multilingual
password protected interface provides worldwide versatility
and enhanced security for editing and changing profi les. The
oven features a horizontal curing base with a removable 24
position fi xture for MT (MPO) and a convertible lid providing
cable access to a block to accommodate up to 96 single fi ber
termini (72 for the 1Cure-200) to cure in a vertical position. The
internal 15 degree tilt mechanism for the horizontal cure will
allow for 0 or 15 degree curing angle to prevent fi bers from
retreating during bare, buffered or ribbon fi ber applications.

UV LED spot curing system at 365nm
A powerful, fl exible and easy-to-use UV LED spot curing system for a wide range of curing applications.
As the control system is directly integrated into the body
of the UTARGET, the irradiance of the UV LED head can be
adapted quickly and easily.
The UV LED head has been uniquely designed to create
an infi nite range of spot sizes so the user can choose the
position of the optic to perfectly fi t the size of the spot.
The max irradiance of the 365nm version is 1400mW/
cm2 with an electrical power input of around 4W.
The UV Curing Kit contains the UTARGET product, a power
supply adapter, a desk holder and safety glasses.
LED Irradiation up to 8000 mW/cm2
Wavelength 365, 385, 395 or 405 nm
Adjustable optical system
UV cabinet for curing applications
Compact UV irradiation chamber for laboratory uses or
for short run production.
Thanks to a digital controller the UV light power can be
fi xed between 0% and 100%, and also the insolation
time can be defi ned between 1sec and 100min.
An intelligent security system between the lamp and the
door avoids unwanted UV light exposure by cutting off
the UV light if the door is open during insolation.
More than 90% homogeneity
Wavelength 365, 385, 395 or 405 nm
Easy-to-use Plug&Play solution
Applications:
bonding, fi xing or encapsulating components in the
electronic, optical or medical fi eld
intense UV irradiation in the biological, chemical and
pharmaceutical sectors

Dispensing Units and Accessories for Fiber optics Patchcord production
The dispensing systems from MUSASHI are used in numerous industrial
processes, such as automotive, cable assembly, optical module manufacturing,
electronics, solar cell manufacturing and medical technology. A large choice of
consumables, like syringes, nozzles and adapter hoses cover all customer needs.
When handling liquid materials process parameters like stability, fl ow volume
and the curing profi le of the used materials are of paramount importance.
Permanent monitoring and control of these parameters is essential to ensure
stable dispensing during the process, even with self-curing materials.
High precision systems optimize the production fl ow, lower the costs and maximize
throughput for electrical and electromechanical manufacturing sequences.
When used in medical applications Musashi’s solutions ensure absolute even
dispensing of UV curing adhesives, silicone, cyanoacrylate adhesives and other
liquid materials.

Adhesive Injection Systems for Ferrules
The Shotmaster is an automated solution for dispensing adhesives into ferrules of
fi beroptic connectors.
The robot arm allows for precise positioning of the syringe needle in relation to the
ferrule hence avoiding later failure of connectors due to glue misplacement. The
integrated dispense system corrects for the glue changing its viscosity over time
hence making sure always same volume is injected in the ferrule. The Shotmaser is
the ideal solution for todays high volume high quality fi ber optic connector assembly
lines.
This robot is equipped with a high precision pneumatic dispenser that accurately
corrects for fl uctuations in the dose volume caused by changes in viscosity, such as
occur with twopart resin material.
Streamline the injection operation
Compatible with large variety of ferrule
Improve workability
Stabilizing adhesive spread
Temperature control by peltiert device

Centrifugal bubble eliminator for syringes
This is bubble eliminator for removing bubbles
that are generated when fi lling material into
syringes by using centrifugal force. Simple
operation: Put a liquired-fi lled syringes in the
machine and press the switch. Two models are
avalable according to the syringe size. Clean
and simple bubble removal for various fl uids
such as epoxy resin and grease.
ML-808FX: High precision dispenser fl exible with viscosity changeStable dispensing of two-liquid type cure adhesive With the <auto increment function>, dispensing set conditions automatically switches step-by-step. With the <auto slope function>, the channel is set automatically just by inputting the start and end dispensing conditions.Variable line width at a constant drawing speed.Ideal for automation lines and centralized control from host computer because the RS-232C communication function is provided.
