What are the advantages and disadvantages of optical fiber welding machine

As a professional optical fiber connection equipment, optical fiber welding machine has significant advantages, but also has some disadvantages. Here's a breakdown of their strengths and weaknesses:

advantage

High precision:

The optical fiber splicer adopts precise optical and mechanical technology to ensure the accurate alignment of the optical fiber end face during the welding process, so as to achieve low-loss optical fiber connection and ensure the efficient transmission of optical signals.

Some high-end models, such as Fujikura 100P fiber welding machine, use high-precision VCSEL laser for fiber alignment, which greatly improves the welding quality and success rate.

High efficiency:

Optical fiber welding machine has high-speed welding and automatic control functions, can complete the welding process of optical fiber in a short time, improve work efficiency. For example, the Fujikura 100P's welding time is only 6 seconds, which greatly reduces the operation time.

The fiber splicer equipped with a large capacity lithium battery can meet the needs of long-term outdoor operations, such as up to 200 welding operations under full charge.

High stability:

The design of optical fiber welding machine is reasonable, the structure is stable, and it can run stably for a long time. The internal circuit and control system are optimized to resist interference from the external environment and ensure the stability of the welding quality.

Easy to operate:

Modern fiber splicing machines are often equipped with intuitive user interfaces and friendly operating systems that make it easy for operators to get started. Some models also have automatic functions, such as automatic fiber matching, automatic welding, etc., to further simplify the operation process.

Strong adaptability:

Fiber splicing machines can handle different types and specifications of fiber, including single-mode fiber, multi-mode fiber, and fiber with different core and cladding diameters. In addition, it can also adapt to different working environments, such as temperature, humidity and other changes.

Safe and reliable:

The optical fiber welding machine pays attention to safety in the design and manufacturing process, and adopts multiple safety protection measures, such as preventing electric shock and preventing overheating. At the same time, the waste gas and waste slag generated in the welding process can also be effectively treated to ensure the safety of the operator.

Inferior position

High upfront investment costs:

The price of the optical fiber welding machine itself is high, especially the imported brand of optical fiber welding machine, the price may be between 25,000 and 60,000 yuan. Although the price of domestic brands is relatively close to the people (between 15,000 and 20,000 yuan), it is still a small expense for some users with limited budgets.

Professional training required:

Optical fiber welding operations require certain professional knowledge and skills, operators need to be trained to master. This increases the cost of manpower and time.

Affected by the environment:

Optical fiber splicing machine is a precision instrument, which is greatly affected by external environment. For example, it may be difficult to operate in harsh environments such as high wind and cold outdoors. In addition, battery life is also affected by ambient temperature.

Maintenance cost:

Although the maintenance of the optical fiber splicer is relatively simple, part replacement and troubleshooting still require a certain cost and time. In addition, regular maintenance and maintenance is also an important part of ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

In summary, the optical fiber welding machine has irreplaceable advantages in the field of optical fiber communication, but there are also some disadvantages that need to be paid attention to and solved by users in the process of use.
