I like the independent control of your cleaver, the only downfall is more equipment to haul around with the fusion splicer. When I'm in a lift or bucket, the less the better. I use a UCL Swift K4F and it's all contained in one. Strips, cleaves, cleans, fuses, tensile tests, and heats the supportive shrink. It's about twice the price, my only complaint is the cleaver is not manually adjustable, so attempting to re-cleave on an cut with intolerable angle means redoing the whole process or pulling out my corning manual kit. Thanks for sharing! going to look into this cleaver!
When those jaws close by themselves it looks like a sci fi gadget like it was about to heat and fix it up like the cut never happened. Real Wal-E moment
I agree, and we did, but this was a video we did at the request of the "TenyFiber" reps to show them how brittle their fiber was. They wanted to see our process and verify it wasn't something we were doing. The equivalent Corning fiber never had this issue, same cleaver, cleaner and splicer.
We don’t really “splice” it like this. We put a fast connect on each line and mate them together via plastic bulk head. It’s pretty simple, but there is higher light loss and reflection 😊
It was slow on purpose, we had an issue with "Teny Fiber" and the reps wanted a video of how we did it to verify things were right. Plus, it's a video showing an example of how to fusion splice so being as fast as possible was never the point.
Wait how does that work? Does it use glue or heat? How can it make a seamless transition between the fibers? How can it maintain the gradient of refractive index?
It's heat, actually the fiber is combination of glass and other polymers that gives it the flexibility. so you don't really need high temps to fuse the two plus these machines are really really accurate (and expensive). so now have your answer.
Сварочник, являясь роботизированным микроскопом сводит два волокна сердцевина к сердцевине. И притом точка сведения волокон, лежит на линии между двумя электродами. Подаётся электрическая дуга, она нагревает волокна, размягчая их до состояния пластилина, после чего «сварочник» слепляет эти два куска «пластилина». Дуга выключается, волокна снова отвердевают, но теперь они единое целое
Cleaver I use at work doesn’t have that clamp that holds down the fiber right before you make the cut. Is this an accessory that comes with the tool or is it a separate part? If so what is it called so I can get one for my cleaver. Thanks in advance for your response
@@TheLuigiSwagthe clamp isn’t necessary at all for a clean cleave, it slows you’re progress and doesn’t make a difference if that’s what you’re aiming for. I use the same cleaver and it’s worth the $600 if you do buttsplices often
В России она называется 80s и стоит ровно в двое дешевле чем 70s в США. Связано это с тем, что в 2014 году она стоила 300’000₽=10’000$, а когда рубль упал в два раза, фирма Fujikura дабы не терять рынок скинула цену для России сразу в два раза до 5000$=300’000₽ 😅
very nice youtube channel brother. I started also 2 months ago. Can you send me picture of your cleaning tissues. I want to buy them. Greetings from Munich
