Vytran LFS4100熔接機、FPS301光纖制備站、 GPX系列大纖芯光纖處理系統、LDC系列光纖切割器和PTR系列光纖涂覆機、拉力測試儀和集成拉力測試儀的光纖涂覆機組成了一套用于早期開發和量產的互補產品。FPS301光纖制備站、LDC系列光纖切割器和LFS4100光纖熔接機具有可互換的光纖夾持座轉移下插條(下有售)以確保在每個工具內能夠精確定位。這使得用LFS4100熔接更簡單和快速，因為在該熔接機與其它Vytran產品結合使用時，能實現可重復的光纖定位。操作人員可將同一個轉移插條中的光纖從一個工具轉移到另一工具中，并且每次轉移后光纖的末端都會進入相同位置中。

Thorlabs的Vytran光纖熔接機用于標準光纖、大直徑光纖和特種光纖，利用加熱絲熔融技術來對包層直徑125 μm - 1.25 mm的光纖進行高質量熔接。 該系統由一個基于加熱絲的加熱器、一個步進電機運動控制系統、一個光纖成像系統和一臺臺式電腦組成。它能夠對標準光纖、保偏光纖、光子晶體光纖、非圓形光纖和其它特種光纖進行熔接。此外，該系統能夠對光纖纖芯進行熱膨脹，并創造模場適配器。
該系統需要一系列配件來進行熔接操作。系統發貨時預裝有一個石墨加熱絲組件，可以熔接包層從?125 μm到?600 μm的光纖。熔接其他包層尺寸的石墨和銥加熱絲組件在下方單獨出售。需要兩個上插條和兩個下插條(下有售)。此外，使用轉移下插條需要一個轉移插條夾具和石墨V型槽(下有售)，從而使多個Vytran系統可以一起使用。還需要一個純度>99.999%的氬氣罐，并且必須從第三方供應商購買。
