Continuous tight buffering process-Revolution in premises cable manufacturing

$15.00

A fully automatic jointing method was developed for the tight buffering process. It is based on overlapping the fibers and using the full fiber length; the jointing starts when the fiber to be processed runs out on the reel. This requires process know-how, accurate timing and complete control of fiber tension.
