Figure 64 Each Insert Can Hold a Range of Fiber Sizes
Here are instructions for using the charts on the previous page.
1. First, select the Bottom Insert that matches your fiber size most closely.
Example: For an Ø800 µm fiber, the VHD750 insert is the closest match, since it is only 50 µm smaller.
2. On the chart below, look to the right of your chosen Bottom Insert. Select a compatible Top Insert
based on the fiber diameter size range shown in each cell.
10
These Inserts have two grooves, one on each side, that each accommodate a different range of fiber sizes, except for the VHA00, which
has a flat surface on one side that can be used to clamp the smallest fiber sizes.
11
These Bottom Inserts have vacuum holes to aid in aligning small fibers when used with the large-diameter fiber Cleavers.
12
These are transfer Inserts. When used with the VHT1 Transfer Clamp, they allow the fiber to be transferred between compatible stripping,
cleaning, Cleaving, splicing, and tapering stations without losing registration of the fiber tip location relative to the edges of the fiber holding
block.
