Fiber optic cables are obtained by thermal stretching macroscopic prefabricated rods on a drawing tower


Heat the fiber preform to a soft melt state, stretch it into thin fiber bundles using gravity or external force, and then add a polymer coating on the surface of the fiber for mechanical protection



In the process of optical fiber production, in order to avoid the oxidation and adsorption of dust and moisture on the small diameter and brittle bare optical fibers that have just been drawn from the drawing furnace after contact with air, which affects the performance and effectiveness of the optical fibers, it is often necessary to apply coatings on the surface of the drawn optical fibers for protection



UV curing technology utilizesThe irradiation of ultraviolet light solidifies the UV curable coating applied to the surface of the optical fiberThus forming a technology with specific performance coatings

 


This UV curing method is characterized by itsFast curing speed, no significant solvent evaporation, excellent coating performanceExcellent performance has become the preferred method for fiber drawing and solidification







Increasing production is the fundamental skill for expanding market share


The faster the fiber drawing speed, the shorter the time it stays in the UV curing oven, which requires the fiber curing oven to achieve rapid curing of the coating with ultra-high light intensity



Youweixing's new fiber drawing curing light source




Peak illuminance can reach

60W/cm²


Meet the demand of fiber optic manufacturers for increased production speed

Youweixing's new fiber drawing curing light source adopts a special optical design scheme








The luminous area is as long as

560mm


Improved the yield rate of fiber optic production

Obtained more effective curing time for the unit product







The degree of solidification is maintained at

About 92%


Uniform, flexible and not easily broken

At the production site of customers using Youwei Xingguang fiber drawing products, we evaluated the curing degree of the fiber optic UV coating through various scientific evaluation methods such as FTIR







At present, optical fibers can integrate functional materials such as light, electricity, sound, heat, and piezoelectricity onto a single polymer fiber, and achieve functions such as viewing, listening, sensing, and communication on composite polymer fibers, greatly expanding the application fields of traditional optical fibers


At this time, fiber optic products can not only be used as communication tools, but also composite with materials such as optical, electrical, magnetic, thermoelectric functions, etcPreparation of multifunctional photonic or optoelectronic devices such as smart sensing devices, smart fabrics, and wearable electronic devices.
