What is Fiber Drawing Tower? Fiber optic drawing tower is an important equipment in the field of electronics and communication technology. Fiber drawing tower is generally between 7 meters and 8.1 meters, ensuring that there is enough space for feeding, heating, pulling and coating during the drawing process. Fiber optic drawing tower is mainly used to control optical fiber. Fiber optic drawing tower is suitable for optical fiber equipment of different materials and specifications, and has been widely used in recent years.
What does a fiber drawing tower consist of?
The composition of fiber drawing tower with different technical indicators is not quite the same. But usually fiber drawing tower contain the following modules or components
Feeding system
The feeding speed is usually between 0-30mm/min or 0-25mm/min, and the preform rod is fed into the heating furnace to ensure the continuity and stability of the drawing process. The feeding system has an automatic centering function. Which helps to reduce deviations and errors in the feeding process.
Heating furnace
Heat the preform rod to a molten state for drawing operations. High-precision temperature control helps to ensure the uniformity and quality of the optical fiber. The heating temperature website is generally 800-2350℃, and the control accuracy is better than ±0.5℃.
Traction system
Pull the molten optical fiber out of the heating furnace at a constant speed to form a slender optical fiber. The traction speed can be adjusted, generally between 0-10m/min or 0-200m/min. The adjustable traction speed helps to control the diameter and length of the optical fiber.
Coating system
During or after the optical fiber drawing process, one or more layers of protective material are coated on it to enhance the strength and durability of the optical fiber. Including wet-dry coating system, pressure single-layer coating system, gravity coating system, etc. Different coating systems are suitable for different optical fiber materials and application scenarios.
Wire diameter measurement system
Real-time monitoring of the diameter of the optical fiber to ensure that it meets the requirements. The measurement data will be fed back to the control system for precise adjustment.
Control system
Adjust parameters such as feeding speed, heating temperature, and pulling speed according to the feedback data to ensure the stability and accuracy of the drawing process.
Wire collection system: Collect the drawn optical fiber to form finished products such as optical fiber discs or optical fiber ribbons. The wire collection system has an important impact on the quality of the finished optical fiber.
