How to self maintain your 45S Fujikura's fusion splicer ?
Since 25 years our After Sales service team has maintained and repaired different generations of Fujikura's fusion splicer. Following the years we have noticed that approximately 25% of the splicers sent back for service were showing a malfuntion only due to a non adaptive or no regular cleaning of the critical parts of the splicer.
These critical parts are the following :
- V groove
- Clamps and pads
- Camera's focus lens
As the splicer is used, dust or fiber optic waste lay or accumulate on those different parts causing the following problems :
- Motor problems As the splicer is used, dust or fiber optic waste lay or accumulate on those different parts causing the following problems :
- Camera's focus problem
As soon as too many dust has accumulated on the V groove, fiber optics show an offset too important which prevent the motors to correct the offest and align the fibers. In worst case scenario motors can be blocked on a far end position.
It is then essential to clean regularly these critical parts of the fusion splicer !!!
