Advantages of the fusion splicer
According to the fusion splicer, it is made possible to keep track of the progress state of the current reinforcement treatment being executed in real time on the display for monitoring the state of fusion splice, so that fusion splice and preparations for reinforcement treatment of the fiber optic splicer to be next subjected to reinforcement treatment can be executed at good timing. Consequently, the optical fibers whose fusion splice is complete can be transported efficiently from the fusion splicing device to the reinforcement treatment device without standby. If standby occurs, reinforcement treatment can be executed in sequence efficiently in an appropriate standby time without accumulating a large number of optical fibers for waiting.
A fusion splicer according to the fiber splicing is a fusion splicer including a fusion splicing device for butting optical fiber end parts against each other and fusing them and a reinforcement treatment device for reinforcing the optical fiber cleaver subjected to the fusion splice with a reinforcement sleeve covered thereon, wherein a display for monitoring the state of fusion splice comprises a display function of displaying the progress state of reinforcement treatment. The reinforcement treatment progress state is displayed as temperature rise, heat insulation, cooling information or is displayed as time information or temperature information. If the fusion splicer includes a plurality of reinforcement treatment devices that can be controlled independently, the progress state of each reinforcement treatment device is displayed.
Particularly, to include a plurality of reinforcement treatment devices that can be operated independently of fusion splicer, the reinforcement treatment device that can be next used can be determined and the wait time, etc., becomes obvious, so that preparation work can be conducted efficiently, it is made possible to set non-wasteful work allocation as a whole, and the workability can be enhanced. The reinforcement treatment progress state can be easily displayed by adding hardware to an existing display, but can also be displayed using software. The reinforcement treatment progress state can be displayed using software with no change made to an existing fusion splicer main body or display.
