All you need to know about fiber optic cable welding machines

How will the fiber optic cable welding machine work?

Fiber optic cable welding machines operate quite simply, but no rudimentary equipment or tools can replace it. This is the outstanding difference of fiber optic cable welding machines. The fiber optic cable is made from high-quality glass fibers. When broken, the fiber optic cable welding machine will melt these two glass fibers at a temperature of over 1000 degrees Celsius. This process uses two arc discharge poles between the electrodes. pole to melt and weld them together.

Currently, there are many types of fiber optic cables such as SM(ITU-T G.652&G.657), MM(ITU-T G.651), DS(ITU-T G.653), and NZDS(ITU-T G. 655). Connecting two ends of the same type of cable is quite simple, but not every welding machine can do it when connecting two cables of different types. However, high-end fiber optic cable welding machines with advanced technology can now easily solve this problem.

What is special about the structure of the fiber optic cable welding machine?

Currently, there are many lines of fiber optic cable welding machines with different designs and structures, but they all have the following main parts:

-Arc discharge block: Consists of two pairs of opposing electrodes and a high-voltage generating circuit to generate heat.

-Firing block: Includes a specialized heat shrink tube part with a firing temperature of 150 - 200 degrees.

-Lens: Helps observe, magnify fibers and transmit fiber position information, supporting the welding machine in aligning and welding more accurately.

-Alignment system: After identifying the cable position from the lens, this system will perform alignment of the fiber position.

How to use fiber optic cable welding machine properly

The fiber optic cable welding machine is evaluated with many smart features, providing the most optimal user support. If you operate the machine properly, the job becomes very simple

First, the necessary tools to prepare include: precision cutter, striping pliers, heat shrink tube, cleaning alcohol and cleaning paper.

Start by separating the fiber optic cable, removing about 30mm of the cable cover, leaving only the bare fiber. Then, insert the heat shrink tube into the fiber and use soft paper soaked in alcohol to remove dirt on the fiber body. Next, use a cutter to precisely cut the optical fiber, keeping the bare optical segment 10 - 20mm long.

Place the cut fiber into the V-groove so that it does not exceed the intersection between the two electrodes, then close the machine lid and start. The machine will automatically perform the welding process. 

Finally, when the welding process is completed, the machine will proceed to heat shrink tube to complete.

Choose a good machine

To choose a quality fiber optic welding machine product, you need to have specific evaluation criteria. Some important criteria that cannot be ignored include: weld loss level, technology used, machine model and brand, price criteria and machine durability. These factors will help you make the correct decision when choosing to buy a fiber optic welding machine.

Where to buy a good price fiber optic welding machine?

On the market today, there are many reputable distributors and suppliers of fiber optic welding machines. However, it is impossible to avoid counterfeit products, counterfeit goods, old goods with replacement parts, and floating around. So please be careful before buying, EMIN is a distributor of fiber optic welding machines.
