Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides an automatic coupling device and an automatic coupling method, relates to the technical field of optical communication, and is used for reducing manual operation procedures of a device with an optical channel in a coupling and packaging process and improving the problem of low production efficiency. The automatic coupling device comprises a first objective table, a second objective table, a first camera and a control device. The first objective table is used for bearing a first coupling device with a first optical channel and is adjustable in pose, and the second objective table is used for bearing a second coupling device with a second optical channel. The first camera is used for shooting the top of the first coupling device and the top of the second coupling device, and the focusing position can be adjusted in the shooting direction. The control device is configured to adjust the pose of the first objective table according to an image shot by the first camera, so that the first coupling device moves to the position where the first optical channel and the second optical channel are coupled and aligned. The device can be used for automatic coupling of the first coupling device and the second coupling device.
