These devices measure the
position of the prepared end
of the optical fibers relative to
the reference point of the
insert extremely accurately.

The result is displayed clearly
by means of the digital read
out. The digital display can be
zeroed by means of the
setting gauge.
A special Digital Crimp Height
Micrometer verifies the crimp
height of metal inserts. Two
opposed probe tips measure
the crimp height of the inserts
across the diameter.
In the future Glass Fiber will
be used in the automobile
industry. To keep pace with
this trend TE Connectivity is
developing process equip-
ment for the manufacture of
GOF and PCS leads.
Developments are based
on experience gained in
processing plastic and glass
Tooling and Equipment
for Glass Fiber Optics
(GOF/PCS) for
Automotive
fiber for NETCONNECT
communication technology
products. With both GOF and
PCS the primary obstacle in
the process is to achieve a
high quality fiber end surface.
The goal of our develop-ment
is to process the PCS fiber
end with a Laser Module.
Further process involve joining
a connector to the fiber end
with a Laser welding Module.
The manufacture of the
GOF fiber end faces involves
additional process of heat
forming and polishing.
A Laser Module is used
finally to accomplish optical
connector assembly.
