5.14.14 Taper Tension Process
A user can automatically apply a predefined tension on a fiber (or pair of spliced fibers) loaded on a glass processor.
This process (shown in Figure 39) requires the user to input the target tension in grams as well as the tension
tolerance (typically a value from 1 g to 2 g). The user can also specify which fiber holding block is used to measure
tension (tension is applied by the opposing fiber holding block). Taper Tension is included in the splice list editor to
be run with standard processes. A taper tension process can be performed before any tapering process to ensure
that the fiber is under some tension prior to tapering. A Tension Base process is also available which allows the
user to zero the tension monitoring system while there is no load on the fiber.

5.14.15 Pre-Tension Process
The Pre-Tension Process allows the user to apply a predefined tension value on the fiber by pulling on both fiber
holding blocks at the same time. This process is preferred when tension is needed while maintaining the center of
the fiber or splice position or other specific feature at the same location on screen.
5.14.16 Tension Hold Process
The Tension Hold process allows the user to apply and maintain a predefined tension value on the fiber (or pair of
fibers) after a taper process has completed. The process requires the user to input the target tension and tolerance
in grams, the duration of the tension hold process and which fiber holding block to use for measuring tension
(tension is corrected by moving the opposing fiber holding block).
