The principle of fiber optic cleaning machine

The working principle of fiber optic cleaning machines varies depending on different models and application scenarios, but can be mainly divided into the following categories:

1、 Principle of high-pressure airflow or high-pressure water flow cleaning

The fiber optic cleaning machine sprays high-pressure air or water onto the surface of the fiber optic cable through a nozzle, using impact and friction to remove dirt and impurities from the surface of the fiber optic cable. This method is direct and efficient, suitable for scenarios that require rapid removal of large amounts of dirt.

2、 Principle of Ultrasonic Cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning machines use the sound wave energy generated by ultrasonic vibration to clean optical fibers. When sound waves propagate in liquid, they generate high-frequency compressive and compressive forces. This interactive transformation method can penetrate the liquid and cause dirt in fine crevices of objects to roll and penetrate. During the depressurization stage, vacuum nucleation bubbles will occur in the liquid, which will generate strong impact force when subjected to pressure, thereby peeling off the dirt on the cleaned surface. Ultrasonic cleaning machines can achieve effects that manual cleaning cannot achieve, especially suitable for cleaning precision components such as fiber lasers.

3、 Principle of liquid+gas cleaning

Some high-end fiber end face cleaning machines, such as Offsoon Pro, use a liquid+gas cleaning principle. Cleaning solution can quickly dissolve stains on the fiber end face, while the sprayed dust-free gas blows away the cleaning solution along with the oil stains. This method combines the advantages of chemical dissolution and physical blowing, enabling efficient and thorough cleaning. At the same time, these cleaning machines are usually equipped with high-precision filtration systems to ensure that there are no external stains interfering during the cleaning process.

4、 Principle of adsorption+blowing and cleaning

There is also a fiber end face cleaning machine, which works by adsorbing cleaning paper onto the fiber end face, and then using a vacuum pump to extract air to tightly adhere the cleaning paper to the fiber end face, adsorbing stains and impurities onto the cleaning paper. Finally, the dirt and impurities on the cleaning paper are blown away from the fiber end face by driving air through the motor to complete the cleaning. This method is suitable for fine cleaning of fiber end faces.

In summary, there are various principles of fiber optic cleaning machines, and the choice of which principle to use depends on the specific application scenario and requirements. In practical applications, it is necessary to choose the appropriate cleaning machine and cleaning method based on the material of the optical fiber, the type of dirt, and the requirements for cleaning effect.
