OPERATION
SPLICE
The condition of the fiber can be observed via the image
processing system in the Swift KR��. However, the visual
inspection is necessary to ensure better splice result.
The splicing process starts as soon as the windshields
cover is closed in Auto mode.
� The fibers loaded in the splicer move toward each
other. The movement stops at the positions after the
fiber cleaning arc. Then the splicer checks cleaved
angle, end-face quality and dust. If the measured
cleaved angle is bigger than the preset limit value or
any damage of the fiber is discovered, an error message
appears on the screen and the splice process stops.
Though no error message appears on the screen, visual
inspection on cross section is recommended as the
process stops.
�
After inspection, the both fibers are aligned clad to clad.
The measured values of cleaved angle and off-set can be
displayed on the screen.
After completion of the fiber alignment, arc discharge is
�
performed to splice the fibers.
The estimated loss value is measured after splicing and
�
displayed on the screen. The estimated loss value is
affected by various error related elements. And, these
elements also influence the estimation and computation
of the value. The computation of the loss value is based on
measurement factor. If the estimated loss value is greater
than the preset limit, an error message appears on the
screen. Also, an alarm can be triggered by the discovery of
an abnormal condition of the spliced part including too
thick or thin area or bubbles. Even if an error message
does not occur, it is recommended to perform the arc
fusion process again if the result on the screen does not
look good enough.
Splice result is saved as follows. When splice completes,
�
splice result is automatically saved.
