METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REMOVING COATING OF COATED OPTICAL FIBER

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide the method and device for removing the coating in the intermediate part of a coated optical fiber with a simple operation. CONSTITUTION:This method and device consist in preparing a supporting plate 2 which consists of a base plate 3 formed of a first arc of a radius R1 in a part of its outer periphery and is erected with first blades 4, 4 radially projecting by as much as nearly the coating thickness at both ends of this arc, pressing the coated optical fiber 1 along the first arc to bite the coating 1-2 of the coated fiber onto the first blades 4, 4 and removing the coating 1-2 by turning an arm plate 6 which is provided with a second blade 7 at one end and is provided with the other end coaxially with the center 5 of the first arc.
