Automatic Alignment and Head-face Inspection

This product uses an image processing system to observe the optical fibre in
order to ensure good splicing. However, in some cases, the image processing
system may not find out splice error. Therefore, it needs conducting visual
inspection of the fibre through monitor to obtain good splice results.
Click the Start button "
left and right optical fibre start to do opposite movement. After cleaning arc, the
system will automatically check the fibre head face. If the fibre head face is too
bad to splice, the monitor displays an error message. If the fibre head face is
good, alignment continues. After fibre alignment, the monitor shows angles of
the left and right head face. An error message is displayed if the surface angle
threshold of either left or right fibre ends exceeds the angle limit. Then users
need to re-cleave optical fibre.
ATTENTION: Surface angle threshold and Align offset threshold could be set in
the "Splice Mode" menu.
When it shows images and messages as shown in Table 2 in the process of at
automatic alignment, the equipment will be reset automatically. Users can also
