Importance And Method Of Cleaning V Groove Of Optical Fiber Fusion Splicer

The V-groove is an important part of the optical fiber fusion splicer. Its function is to fix and support the left and right optical fibers in the fusion splicing process. Therefore, cleaning the V-groove in the daily maintenance of the optical fiber fusion splicer is an extremely important part.

As shown in the two figures above, it is due to the garbage left in the V-core groove that the left and right of the optical fiber are not on a horizontal line after being placed. If the core cannot be adjusted at this time, the fusion splicing cannot be completed. Even if it is a machine that can be adjusted, the excessive amount of garbage in the V-groove will cause the motor to overtravel and cannot be centered, or shorten the service life of the machine.

The cleaning method of the V-groove is shown in the figure above. You can use a cotton swab (or a cut optical fiber) to carefully clean the V-groove. Pay attention to the cleaning process. Use strong light, and use a magnifying glass when necessary. Observe the condition at the bottom of the V-groove. In addition, the material of the V-groove is ceramic, which is relatively brittle, so avoid using hard things for grinding.

Frequent cleaning of the V-groove can greatly improve the efficiency of daily splicing work and reduce the loss after splicing, and can effectively prolong the service life of the optical fiber fusion splicer.
