ALIGNMENT TECHNIQUES FOR FIBER BUNDLES

摘要

An alignment technique for fiber bundles using a multiple square orifice which involves threading plastic or glass fibers from multiple spools through a convergent multiple orifice made of converging glass tubes or a metal grid perforated with square or rectangular holes. The aligned bundle is then passed through a sizing aperture and either binder is applied or the fibers are fused together at predetermined intervals therealong. The aligned bundles may then be cut to the desired length.
