What is a fiber optic cleaning machine?

Fiber optic cleaning machine is a device specifically designed to clean the surface dirt and impurities of optical fibers. Its working principle and characteristics can be summarized as follows:

working principle

There are two main working principles of fiber optic cleaning machines:

High pressure airflow or water flow cleaning: High pressure airflow or water flow is sprayed onto the surface of the optical fiber through a nozzle, and the dirt and impurities on the surface of the optical fiber are removed by impact and friction. This cleaning method is fast and effective, able to penetrate the tiny gaps on the surface of the optical fiber and remove difficult to reach dirt.

Ultrasonic cleaning: Using the cavitation effect, acceleration effect, and direct flow effect formed by high-frequency sound waves generated by ultrasonic vibration in liquid to clean the surface of optical fibers. Ultrasonic waves can penetrate tiny gaps on the surface of optical fibers, removing dirt and impurities from the fiber surface and achieving a deep cleaning effect.

characteristic

Efficient cleaning: Whether it is high-pressure airflow or water flow cleaning or ultrasonic cleaning, it can quickly and effectively remove dirt and impurities on the surface of optical fibers, improving cleaning efficiency.

Protecting optical fibers: Fiber optic cleaning machines can reduce damage to optical fibers during the cleaning process, protecting their integrity and performance.

Multiple cleaning modes: Some fiber optic cleaning machines have multiple cleaning modes, such as mechanical cleaning and chemical cleaning, which can be selected according to different cleaning needs and fiber types.

Automated operation: Modern fiber optic cleaning machines often adopt automated operation methods, reducing manual intervention and improving the accuracy and consistency of cleaning.

Application scope

Fiber optic cleaning machines are widely used in fields such as fiber optic communication, fiber optic sensing, and fiber lasers. In fiber optic communication, fiber optic cleaning machines are used to clean components such as fiber optic connectors and jumpers to ensure communication quality; In fiber lasers, fiber cleaning machines are used to clean the internal components of the fiber laser and the fiber itself, improving the output power and stability of the laser.

In summary, the fiber optic cleaning machine is an efficient, safe, and multifunctional cleaning equipment, which is of great significance for ensuring the normal operation of fiber optic communication and fiber lasers.
