    How often do Sumitomo Industrial Electrical electrodes need replacement?
    • D
      David CastilloAug 27, 2025
      The electrodes typically need replacement after 1000 splices. Some common symptoms that indicate the electrodes need replacing are: Fluttering or unstable arc observed on the monitor, Sizzling noise while arcing, Bubbles in the fibers after splicing, Fiber burned in half, Diameter faults, High or inconsistent splice losses.

    What to do if I see Splice Error (Splice) (Thin) (Thick) (Neck) (Bubble) on Sumitomo TYPE-66M12 Industrial Electrical?
    • M
      Melissa NealAug 27, 2025
      This error could be due to several reasons: Thin splices can be caused by high fiber end irregularity, low Overlap value, or strong arc power. Thick splices may result from high fiber end irregularity, high Overlap value, or weak arc power. Bubble or Neck errors often indicate fiber irregularity or end face problems. Perform an arc test again to adjust arc power. Check that the arc parameters such as Fusion time, Prefusion time, Overlap, and etc. have correct values. Re-arcing will sometimes resolve the problem.
