3.5.6. Clean Station
The cleaning station is used to remove any coating particles or residue left on the glass surface which may
reduce splice strength. The prepared fiber is immersed in the cleaning solution by raising the dunking jig, which
automatically activates the ultrasonic cleaner to run for a chosen period. The cleaning station consists of left- and
right-hand dunking jigs and an ultrasonic cleaning solution container.
