Fiber Optic Cable Curing Method
Optical fiber manufacturers use high-speed UV curing processes during fiber drawing, coloring, ribboning, and final fiber optic cable fabrication. The OmniCure® AC9225-F UV LED curing system with custom lens and optimized LED light engine to deliver extremely focused high-irradiance UV light for fast curing of fiber optic coating materials. Increased profitability through significant reduction of electrical consumption, increased. Fiber optic manufacturing processes take advantage of UV curing's fast speed (up to 3,400 meters/min) and process. A Navy ManTech funded development program entitled Fiber Optic Interconnect Technology (FOIT) is aimed at advancing manufacturing technology associated with high reliability/ performance fiber optic assemblies. This technology consists of the development of an automated work cell made up of 5. The optic fiber cables need to be protected with coating materials like acrylate polymer or polyimide and cured either with UV light or heat used in a specific oven made to cure the optic fiber cables.
