Apparatus for the oblique cutting of one or of several optical fibers

摘要

An apparatus cuts one or several optical fibers obliquely. The cutting edge (6) creates the beginning of a break on the fiber that has first been subjected to a torsion and to a tension. The fiber is immobilized upstream of the cutting point. Then, the fiber is tightened downstream from the cutting point. Next, a tension is exerted on the part of the fiber or fibers located between the application of the tightening (3,4). The tightening also involves an exertion of a torsion force upon the optical fiber.
