(1) Put the shrinkable splicing tube on

Vevor ALK-T5 - Preparation before splicing - 1

Put the fiber through the splicing tube to protect the fusion point after splicing. Make sure there is no impurity inside the tube and keep the tube parallel with the fiber.

② Strip down the protective layers except the glass coating layer.

Vevor ALK-T5 - Preparation before splicing - 2

Vevor ALK-T5 - Preparation before splicing - 3

Strip the coating layer by 40mm with strippers.

After stripping the optical fiber, use dust-free paper dipped in 99% purity alcohol to clean the coating layer in a circular direction. Starting from the interface between the coating and the bare fiber, rotate the paper in the direction of the bare fiber in a circular direction and get rid of the debris of coating layers.

3. Fiber Cutting

Position the tip of the fiber at 13 - 13.5 mm above the top of the slot. Keep the slider at the outer side. Then cover the pressure pad. Push the slider and finish the cutting. Open the fiber holder and open up the pressure pad, take the fiber and keep it away from other items in case it may get polluted.

Notice: When there is a poor cutting surface, please adjust the blade surface of the fiber cleaver. What's more, we'd like to suggest you use specified fiber cleavers equipped with our machines.

4. Fiber Placement

Vevor ALK-T5 - Fiber Placement - 1

Vevor ALK-T5 - Fiber Placement - 2

♠ Open the wind-proof cover and check if the V-groove is clean. If not, please use air blow or blade to clean the V-groove. ♠ Put the cut fibers in the V-groove of the splicing modules and make sure the fibers are right in the V-groove. ♠ Check if the end-faces of the fibers are in the position between the electrode tips and the V-grooves. And make sure they're close to the electrode tips. Or the fibers shall be re-placed.

♠ Close the wind-proof cover gently and start splicing.

5. Check Splicing Result

Vevor ALK-T5 - Check Splicing Result - 1

6. Auto-alignment and End Face Correction

To assure splicing quality, the product uses an image processing system to observe fibers. But in some conditions the system may not be able to detect the splicing errors. So we still need to inspect the splicing process with eyes through the display screen to get better splicing quality.

Close the wind-proof cover or press the start button, the optical fiber enters the automatic alignment state, and the left and right optical fibers begin to do phase movement. The system will check the cut faces after cleaning discharge, if the end faces are not qualified the splicing will not be started and there will be an error notice on the screen. If the cut faces are qualified the aligning process will continue. After alignment the end-face angles of fibers

on both sides will be shown on the screen. If the detected angles exceed the limited angle there will be an error notice on the screen. The fibers will need to be re-cut.

If it shows following images or notice info in aligning process the system will reset the motors. Users can also push reset button to reset motors and retry to cut or put fibers.
