Fiber Cleaver

The fiber cleaver is used to cut the fiber as thin as a hair. After the cut fiber is magnified hundreds of times, the observation is still flat before it can be spliced by discharge. The material of the optical fiber is generally quartz, so the material of the blade of the optical fiber cleaver is required. The fiber cleaver is suitable for single-core or multi-core bare quartz fiber; suitable for 100-250um diameter fiber cladding.

The BAUDCOM High Precision Fiber Cleaver BC-6S:

The BAUDCOM High Precision Fiber Cleaver BC-6S is designed for field use, especially for FTTH. By using a rotating blade for multiple scoring positions enables a blade life of 36, 000 cleaves with a cleave angle better than 0.5 degrees. The unit is constructed to be robust and field serviceable and has options such as tripod mount to enable secure platform mounting. The BC-6S is integral to the unit is a cleave length scale which helps facilitate exact lengths during cleaving.

Operation method

Use a fiber stripper to remove the coating on the surface layer, reserve about 30-40mm, wrap the fiber with a dust-free paper dipped in alcohol, and then wipe the fiber clean.

Put it into the fiber-carrying slot and cut the fiber.

Note that the fiber section after cutting should be very careful not to touch any objects, otherwise it will affect the cutting effect.

If there is continuous fiber cutting, adjust the blade height.

If the cut end surface is not flat, clean the rubber pad of the cutting knife first, and then replace the knife surface if the problem is not solved.

Blade material characteristics

1. Using ultra-fine grained WC-Co powder for low-pressure sintering, which has the characteristics of high hardness, high strength, good wear resistance and sharp cutting edge.

2. The low-pressure sintering product has good internal metallographic structure and compactness, which effectively reduces the microscopic pores in the alloy, avoids the phenomenon of chipping of the cutting edge during fine grinding and use, and improves the smoothness of the cut section.

3. The sharpening of the cutting edge of the optical fiber cutting knife is extremely demanding. Generally, a precision optical grinder with a high degree of automation is required to sharpen the cutting edge, so that the sharpened edge will be sharp without the advantage of edge chipping. The cutting edge requires high processing accuracy, and the finish is as high as the mirror effect (Ra≥0.012), and the section of the cut fiber is flat, smooth, and free of burrs.
