Optical fiber transport method and apparatus for an integrated optical fiber processing system

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus for transporting one or more optical components between a plurality of optical component processing stages of an assembly system. The carrier transport apparatus is generally adapted to move at least one optical component carrier between at least two optical component processing stages and position the at least one optical component carrier between a plurality of a processing positions with respect to each of the at least two optical component processing stages.
