Fiber Optic Coating Line
Fiber Optic Coating Line on the principle is the same as any other machine for sheathing of any other (energy or telecommunication) cables, but with some important specifics that sheathing of optic cable carries, it is a substantially different. But, it is best to start at the beginning ...
From idea to product
Like any project, this one also began his "life" as a nice idea in someone's head. A main point of this idea is:
- To make fiber optic coating line ...
- with the least possible investment in the shortest period of time
So, if you want reliable machine for less money, almost the only way to achieve this is to use second-hand components from trusted manufacturers and assemble the machine on the principle of the puzzle . Before any attempt in this direction can be made, of course, all components must be brought to the normal state and the right concept must be constructed, in order to reduce later problems to a minimum.
Project tasks
- driven pay-off
- Because the product is an optic cable, which is very "delicate" only possible solution for unwinding is driven pay-off
- ARM server + taping + binder
- Construction of optical cable requires the insertion of filler, tape for mechanical protection and thread for marking, before entering the sheathing head
