FFS2000 Series Chapter 3: Description
Page 12 TTN047338-D02
Dunking Jigs: The dunking jig are used to mount the fiber holding blocks at the cleaning station. Vacuum
is turned on when a FHB is inserted into the dunking jig in horizontal position. Vacuum turns off when
dunking jig is raised to immerse the fiber in the solvent (max. 90°). Raising the dunking jig activates the
ultrasonic cleaning mechanism.
Solvent Container: The solvent container holds the cleaning solvent which removes fiber coating
residue. Solvent should be filled up to 1/8” of the top of the can.
WARNING
Read the MSDS Sheet for any chemical used in the ultrasonic cleaner.
Solvent Shield: The solvent shield reduces splashing of the solvent during ultrasonic operation.
Indicator Lamps: The indicator lamps light up when the cleaning time expires and stay lit until the
dunking jig is lowered.
Flange Clamps: The flange clamps hold the solvent container in place. Unscrew 1/2 turn to release the
container.
3.5.7. Splice Station
The splicing station is used to precisely position and fuse the fiber ends together. A tungsten or iridium filament
(sold separately) provides the heat necessary for the fiber fusion.
Standard Splice Station (Item #s FFS2000 and FFS2000PT)
Figure 9 Standard Splice Station
Splice Head: The splice head contains the tungsten or iridium filament, viewing optics, and XY
illuminators. It moves axially during the high-strength fire polishing process.
Filament Port: The filament port allows argon to escape during the splice process.
Fiber Positioner: The stepper-motor pivot positioner is used for aligning fibers in the XY-direction with a
resolution of 0.01 μm.
Vacuum V-Groove Fiber Holders: The vacuum v-grooves are used to position the stripped fiber. The
non-abrasive material maintains the fiber strength.
Side Illuminators: The side illuminators are used to illuminate the cladding structure for end view during
rotary alignment.
Fiber Holding Block Drive Shaft: The drive shafts position the fiber holding blocks in Z-direction and
rotate the fiber for PM alignment.
Transfer Jig Bushings: The bushings are used to position transfer jig at the splice station.
