What is the difference between optical fiber splicing machine and cable stripping machine

There are significant differences between optical fiber splicing machine and cable stripping machine in many aspects, which are mainly reflected in their functions, application fields, working principles and operational complexity.

First, function and application field

Optical fiber welding machine: mainly used in optical communication optical cable construction and maintenance, through the high voltage arc to melt two fiber sections and make it fuse into one, in order to achieve the coupling of optical fiber mode field. It is widely used in cable line engineering construction, line maintenance, emergency repair, and production and testing of optical fiber devices of telecom operators, engineering companies and public institutions.

Cable stripping machine: is a device used to remove wire and cable skin, designed to improve peeling efficiency and quality, reduce labor costs. It is widely used in wire and cable manufacturing, processing and maintenance and other industries, can handle a variety of specifications and materials of wire and cable skin.

Second, the working principle

Fiber welding machine: The use of high-voltage arc to melt the two fiber sections at the same time, with a high-precision motion mechanism to gently promote the two fiber fusion into one. This process requires precise control of parameters such as the temperature of the arc, the discharge time, and the advancing speed of the fiber to ensure the quality of the weld.

Cable stripping machine: removes the outer skin of wire and cable by mechanical cutting or stripping. Different models of cable barkers may use different working principles, such as blade cutting, roller stripping, etc., but the overall goal is to efficiently and accurately remove the outer skin without damaging the internal conductor.

Third, operational complexity

Optical fiber welding machine: The operation is relatively complex, and the operator needs to have certain professional knowledge and skills. Before using the optical fiber, you need to pretreat the optical fiber (such as stripping the jacket and cleaning the end face), and set the appropriate welding parameters based on the optical fiber type and welding model. In the process of welding, it is also necessary to pay close attention to the welding quality and adjust it if necessary.

Cable peeling machine: The operation is relatively simple, generally only need to put the wire and cable into the machine and start. Different models of cable barkers may have different operating interfaces and functional Settings, but they are generally intuitive and easy to use.

Fourth, other differences

Price and cost: Optical fiber welding machine due to high technical content and a wide range of applications, so the price is usually higher. The price of the cable barker varies according to the model and function, but in general, it is relatively low.

Maintenance and maintenance: Both types of equipment require regular maintenance and maintenance to ensure proper operation and extend service life. The optical fiber welding machine may need to pay more attention to the wear and replacement of electrodes and the stability of welding quality. The cable stripping machine may pay more attention to the sharpness of the blade and the cleanliness of the machine.

In summary, there are obvious differences between optical fiber splicing machine and cable stripping machine in terms of function, working principle, operational complexity, and price and cost. These differences make them play an irreplaceable role in different application scenarios.
