Our country's technology is undergoing rapid changes, and in the field of optical communication, LED UV, with its unique advantages, can participate inPlaying an important role in it



Fiber optic coloring




The formation of communication optical cables requires four processes, namelyFiber optic coloringProcess, plasticizing process, cabling process, and sheathing process. Today we will focus on the wonderful use of LED UV in the fiber coloring process




After passing through the coloring mold, the natural fiber is dyed with ink, and thenUV curing ovenCure the ink under ultraviolet light to form a surface gloss with uniform thicknessFiber optics with different colorsThis is where traditional UV mercury lamps and modern LED UV lamps play a role in this process




There have been many drawbacks in the early application of UV mercury lamps

1

60% of the energy in mercury lamps is emitted through light radiation or high temperature, resulting in significant energy waste and requiring additional layout of blowers, etc

2

At startup, electrode discharge will cause the breakdown of air and generate ozone, damaging the production environment

3

Mercury itself is a highly toxic substance, and ink emits certain organic gases (VOCs) at high temperatures, causing air pollution and not meeting environmental protection requirements



LED UV is replacing traditional UV mercury lamps as the mainstream application

1

LED-UV lamps have a concentrated wavelength and can be customized according to the wavelength of the UV ink used. They have high energy concentration, minimal light radiation waste, and do not require the installation of a heat dissipation blower

2

It can achieve a lifespan 15 times longer than ordinary mercury lamps, can be turned on and used at any time, has a small size, and is very flexible in application and placement on the production site

3

No VOCs gas emissions, no ozone generation, safe, energy-saving and environmentally friendly


If the temperature inside the curing furnace exceeds 120 ℃, it will affect the attenuation of the optical fiber, and if it exceeds 150 ℃, it may cause damage to the optical fiber. The temperature inside the LEDUV curing oven can be controlled within 80 ℃, which is beneficial for the benign rate of optical fiber products



The trend of future intelligent manufacturing is to achieve integrated production through equipment improvement and production process optimizationAs a cutting-edge technology, the application of modern technology in optical communication is essential


Youwei Starlight Fiber Colored Light Source


We have developed two types of fiber optic coloring light sources, air-cooled and water-cooled, to meet the different application environments and production conditions of users. Performed well in practical applications with partners






Intelligent control system&optimal matching mode

besidesThe matching between the speed of the production line and the power of the curing furnace is very important in the coloring process. Especially during the acceleration and deceleration process, if the power is too low or the speed is too fast, it will lead to insufficient curing and color fading. Excessive power and slow speed can lead to over curing, detachment of the fiber curing layer, and fiber bending

The LED UV light source provided by Youweixing for the fiber optic industry is equipped with an intelligent control systemThe output power and other parameters can be flexibly adjusted according to on-site needs, and the best matching mode can be debugged with professional manual services. Maximize production efficiency
