7.4.2. Filament Centering Procedure
Switch the on and home all motors.
Press
Load Fibers
button to bring the fiber holding blocks to the load position.
Load a fiber into to the left and right fiber holding blocks.
Move the lens to
Back View
Gap and align the fibers in both
Back View
and
Front View
.
Press the
Lens Filament
process button. The glass processor will move the lens and the mirror to left end
view position.
Shine an external light source into the fiber so that the end face is illuminated. It may take some
adjustment to get the light and the fiber positioned correctly.
First adjust the focus on the filament edge, and then move the fiber in or out to be in the same focus
plane as the filament. Adjusting the focus is accomplished by moving the slider in the camera bar. Moving
the fiber is accomplished by clicking the arrows in the Left Block box.
Check that the filament is positioned in the center of the filament height-wise (ydirection).
If the Filament is too large to see the full filament housing on the screen, use the command
5motorstep(3
XX)
to move the camera until you can see the filament housing edge.
Use the
FiXX
and
Filament –XX
to adjust the filament height. Alternatively, the motor step
command on motor 14 can be used. (e.g. send
5motorstep (14 8)
to raise the splice head 8 steps). When
the fiber is perfectly centered in the filament, press the
Set Filament Height
button.
To home the filament vertically, press the
Filament Home
macro button. Then press the
Filament Up
command. View the image on the screen to make sure the fiber is still centered in the filament.
Figure 54
Ensure that the fiber is centered on the filament.
The user should also check that the filament does not contact the fiber when it is raised and lowered.
If the filament does contact the fiber, check that the fiber is properly loaded in the fiber holding block. Also
check that the correct fiber holder insert being used.
If the filament position is OK, then send the lens home.
Home the filament.
Home the fiber holding blocks.
The filament is ready for normalization.
