LD fiber holder
The fiber holder consists of three parts; one base plate and two lids. All parts are held together with magnets (6 magnets in the
base plate and 3 magnets on each lid).
If lower clamping force is needed on the fiber, one might reduce the force by removing magnets in the lids (small hexagon
screws on the side of the lids). Remove the center magnet if two magnets will be used (medium force) or keep only the center
magnets on the lids if the lowest possible clamping force is to be used. Do not remove the magnets from the base plate!
Installation of fiber handling parts on the AUTOCLEAVER LDF
™
•
Install the distance plate with the cylindrical pins on the fiber holder clamp vice (mounted on top of the cleaver). The plate
is held in place by the two pins and magnets.
•
Remove the front cover for the v-groove clamp (held in place by magnets) and place the v-groove clamp block (towards
the v-groove clamp cylinders) in position. Make sure the v-groove slide ramp is clean and free of debris.
•
Remove the rear cover by unscrewing the two hexagon screws holding it down with the supplied 2.5mm Allen key.
•
Place the height adjustor as shown in image, make sure that the spring is located in the small hole at the back of the fixed
clamp block and that the pin from the miniature cylinder is fitted into the hole of the height adjustor.
•
Mount the front and rear cover back and tighten the two hexagon screws in the rear cover just until you feel a small
resistance. Do not over tighten.
•
This concludes the installation of the fiber handling parts on the AUTOCLEAVER LDF
