ALIGNMENT DEVICE FOR FIBER FERRULE, FIBER ALIGNMENT MACHINE AND FIBER ALIGNMENT METHOD

摘要

Disclosed is an alignment device for a fiber ferrule comprises: a ferrule holding part configured to hold the fiber ferrule in a manner that the fiber ferrule is rotatable about its central axis; a ferrule rotating part configured to rotate the ferrule about the central axis by a predetermined angle; and a marking part configured to mark on an outer surface of the ferrule rotated by the predetermined angle. Also disclosed is a fiber alignment machine comprises the above alignment device and a first ferrule grip device gripping a ferrule out of a ferrule clamp and then moving the ferrule to a ferrule holding part. The present invention also relates to a fiber alignment method comprising holding a ferrule in a ferrule holding part in a vertical direction; rotating the ferrule about a central axis thereof by a predetermined angle; and marking on an outer surface the ferrule rotated by the predetermined angle. The present invention can effectively improve the efficiency of an alignment operation of the fiber ferrule.
