Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of object transfer and positioning, in particular to an automatic transfer and positioning device for a grinding disc, which is particularly suitable for automatic transfer and precise positioning of a grinding disc from a cooling station to a wire pulling station. Background Art

[0002] Polishing is a critical process in fiber optic cable production. During this process, the fiber optic cable head is inserted into a fiber polishing disc, which is then placed on a grinding machine for polishing. After polishing, the cable head is removed and the cable is sent for inspection. The primary purpose of polishing the fiber optic cable head is to ensure a smooth and flat end face, thereby reducing signal loss during transmission. After polishing, the disc is removed from the grinder and placed in a cooling station for cooling before being transferred to the cable removal station for the cable head removal process.

[0003] However, the current workshop production has the following main problems. The transfer of the grinding disc from the cooling station to the wire pulling station usually relies on manual judgment of whether the cooling time has met the standards, and the disc is carried out by manual or mechanical clamping. Manual handling not only leads to high labor costs and high labor intensity, but is also prone to operational errors; while mechanical clamping may cause the grinding disc to deform due to improper clamping force, affecting its service life. In addition, at the current wire pulling station, the grinding disc is placed on the table, and the grinding disc relies solely on its own weight and friction with the table to remain stationary. During the wire pulling process, the grinding disc is easily displaced by the tension, causing damage to the optical fiber end face. Summary of the Invention
