VAD Chemical Vapor Deposition Preform Lathe from Mexico
A lathe-based system that deposits silica soot layers via Vapor Axial Deposition (VAD) to build cylindrical optical fiber preforms, followed by sintering. It rotates the target mandrel during deposition for uniform growth. This machine is used for making optical fibre preforms, thus classified under tariff item 8475.21.00.

Import Tips
• Ensure the lathe is specifically for VAD preform production, not general machining
• Provide process documentation to CBSA showing the deposition and sintering steps
• Check if the rotation and gas delivery systems comply with Canadian safety regulations
