[0064] It should be noted that in one specific embodiment, the outer shell material is Hytrel; it has a shrinkage rate of 7‰ and a density of 1.2 g / cm³, and is a thermoplastic polyester elastomer block copolymer. The Φ0.9 optical cable produced from Hytrel material is extruded at a temperature of 160-180 degrees Celsius. It is used to produce BOSA laser pigtails. When stripping the fiber sheath, the temperature needs to be 145±3 degrees Celsius, and a fiber stripping machine is used. The specific parameters of the device can be adjusted according to the above information.

[0065] In actual operation: manual operation is slow, and the coiled optical cable is difficult to insert into the hole. Insufficient heating results in the optical cable sheath not being completely removed, leading to fraying. Cracks appear in the optical fiber after heating or after a period of time, increasing insertion loss and affecting optical signal reception. The product quality is deemed unqualified.

[0066] Using the fiber stripping equipment of this embodiment: the worker only needs to start the equipment and put the fiber tail to be stripped into the fiber stripping actuator 3, and the device can perform the fiber stripping operation according to the predetermined program. After the fiber stripping is completed, the worker will collect the successfully stripped fiber tail and quickly perform the next fiber stripping operation.

[0067] The above are merely embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
