Operation Faults and Solutions When Using the Fusion Splicer
Release time :2022.04.08 Reading quantity:626

Fusion splicer is the act of joining two optical fibers end-to-end. Saluki Technology offers standard 4-motor and 6-motor fusion splicers. Light Weight, Touch Screen, Friendly UI, Fast Fusion and Heating.

 

When using an optical fusion splicer, you can see the fiber image on the screen. Below are the common operation faults and solutions.

 

Image Definition Cause Solution
Fiber core axial deviation There is dust on the V-groove or fiber clamp. Clean V-groove and fiber clamp.
Fiber core angle error 1) There is dust on V-groove or fiber clamp.

2) Poor quality of fiber end face.

1) Clean V-groove and fiber clamp.

2) Check the fiber cleaver working state.

Fiber core bending 1) Poor quality of fiber end face.

2) Low discharging strength or short discharging time.

1) Check the fiber cleaver working state.

2) Enlarge [discharging strength] and/or [discharging time].

Fiber diameter mismatch Discharging strength too low. Enlarge [discharging strength] and/or [discharging time].
Dust combustion 1) Poor quality of fiber end face.

2) Dust is not cleaned or cleared when cleaning the fiber or discharging.

1) Check the fiber cleaver working state.

2) Clear the fiber or increase the [cleaning discharging time].

Bubble 1) Poor quality of fiber end face.

2) Low discharging strength or short discharging time.

1) Check the fiber cleaver working state.

2) Enlarge [discharging strength] and/or [discharging time].

Fiber separation 1) Fiber pushing is too small.

2) High discharging strength or long discharging time.

1) Perform [ARC calibration] maintenance.

2) Reduce [discharging strength] and/or [discharging time].

Too thick Fiber pushing is too big. Reduce [overlap amount] and execute [ARC calibration].
Too thin 1) Discharging strength not suitable.

2) Some discharge parameters are not suitable.

Adjust [splicing discharging strength] [discharging time] or increase [overlap amount].
Splicing line Some discharge parameters are not suitable. Adjust [splicing discharging strength] [discharging time] or increase [overlap amount].
