DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING PLC FILTER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and a method for automatically inserting and fixing a thin multi-layered film filter having a thickness as small as 15μm and a large warpage into a fine groove having 20-25 (μm) width which is formed so as to cut the waveguide of a PLC element without creating flaws at a stable depth in a short time. SOLUTION: The thin multi-layered film filter having the large warpage is automatically fixedly inserted into the fine groove without creating flaws at a stable depth in a short time by: providing a mechanism which transfers, sucks and clamps the multi-layered film filter taken out to a sucking, clamping and inserting mechanism after adjusting the attitude of the rotating direction and which moves the sucked and clamped multi-layered film filter in the XYZ and Xθdirections and a mechanism which fixedly positions the PLC element and moves it in the XYZ and Yθdirections using the groove existing in the PLC element as a reference; and arranging an optical system and a camera which simultaneously pickup pictures of the groove of the PLC element and the multi-layered film filter from the horizontal direction at the position where the multi-layered film filter is inserted.
