What is the difference between a 4-motor fiber optic fusion splicer and a 5- or 6-motor fiber optic fusion splicer?

First of all, you must understand that the optical fiber fusion splicer fuses two optical fibers together. The customer requires one requirement when connecting: low loss, low loss, or low loss. The important things are said three times, so whether it is 2/4 /For 5/6 motor fiber fusion splicers, as long as the loss is low, any number of motors will do;

But they are somewhat different in terms of actual craftsmanship, and of course the results are different, just like two-wheeled vehicles and four-wheeled vehicles. The speed of most four-wheeled vehicles is It is faster than 2 rounds, but 2 rounds sometimes may not lose to 4 rounds. It also depends on the period and whether the technology of 4 rounds is stable. Now back to the topic, what is the principle of 2/4/6 motor fiber fusion splicing machine:

1. 2-motor optical fiber fusion splicer The two optical fibers are pushed closer together under the control of the optical microscope software program, and then directly discharged and welded. This process relies on the accuracy of one-time alignment.

2. The first step of the 4-motor fiber fusion splicer: push the two optical fibers closer together;

Step 2: Use the optical fiber cladding as the reference plane and adjust it through fan-shaped movement, and then Put some welding;

This kind of process adds left and right or up and down movement adjustments on the basis of 2 motors to increase the accuracy of alignment.

3. The first step of the 6-motor fiber fusion splicer: advance two optical fibers;

Step 2: Identify the optical fiber, focus the optical fiber, and align it with the core;

Step 3: Move and adjust the alignment; this process adds a focus identification fiber core , the advantage is that the 6 motors use the core hole in the optical fiber as the reference plane to achieve higher accuracy.

To sum up, theoretically speaking, the more motors the fiber fusion splicer has, the higher the accuracy, but each manufacturer There are still differences in process accuracy and stability. The most stable one is the 4-motor fiber fusion splicer, because the 6-motor technology has not yet stabilized; at the same time, there are many 6-motor fusion splicers on the market;

Note: At present, many customers in the market do not understand the needs, so they must think that the 6-motor machine is good. The manufacturer will naturally adapt and magnify the optical microscope so that customers can see the fiber core with the naked eye. In fact, otherwise, the fiber core cannot be identified. It also does not achieve core alignment technology;

What represents the quality of an optical fiber fusion splicer is not the number of motors, but the loss value.
