Basic Operation
9. Splicing procedure
To make a good splice, the optical fiber is observed with the image processing system
equipped in the FSM-60S. However, there are some cases when the image processing
system cannot detect a faulty splice. Visual inspection with the monitor is often necessary
for better splicing yield. Procedure below describes standard operating procedure.
(1) Fibers loaded in the splicer move forward toward
each other. The fiber forwarding motion stops at a
certain position shortly after the cleaning arc is
performed. Next, the cleave angle and end-face
quality are checked. If the measured cleave angle is
greater than its set threshold or fiber chipping is
detected, the buzzer will sound and an error message
warns the operator.
If no error message is displayed, the below stated
end-face conditions are used for visual inspection. If
observed, remove the fiber from the splicer and repeat
fiber preparation. These visual defects may cause a
faulty splice.
(2) After fiber inspection, the fibers are aligned core-to-core or cladding-to-cladding.
Cladding axis offset and core axis offset measurements can be displayed.
• Pause after cleave angle check and fiber alignment can be set “disabled”. See
page 84 [Splice Settings] for detail.
• The cleave angle threshold can be changed. See page 84 [Splice Settings] for
detail.
• The cleave angle error message can be ignored by pressing SET key to go on
to the next step. To disable the cleave angle error. See page 84 [Splice
Settings] for detail.
• Cleave angle, cladding axis offset and core axis offset during the splicing
operation can be hidden. See page 84 [Splice Settings] for detail.
