Machine and method for polishing optical fibre end surface

摘要

A ferrule (1) is held to a ferrule-holding jig (2) such that the ferrule (1) is tilted at an angle of THETA to the axis of rotation of a polishing platen (3). The ferrule (1) is pressed against a polishing sheet (5) lying on the polishing platen (3) via a resilient body (4). The polishing platen (3) is so tilted that the angle between the axis of the ferrule and the normal to the polishing platen increases by DELTA from THETA . <IMAGE>
