Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positioning device technology, specifically to a fiber optic drawing tower center positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] The optical fiber preform is melted in a drawing furnace 25 meters above the ground. After the molten fiber filaments are filled and coated with protective coatings in a mold on the second floor, they are drawn to the take-up machine at a speed exceeding 2000 meters per minute. The center position of the drawing tower is extremely important. To meet the relevant performance indicators of the optical fiber, any misalignment of any equipment or guide roller will seriously affect the product quality. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the drawing furnace at the top and the take-up positioning roller at the bottom are in a centered, horizontal, and vertical position.
[0003] Traditional retractable brackets, due to their movable frame, have swaying gaps in all directions, making them unsuitable as positioning devices for the center point. Therefore, a center positioning device for fiber optic cable drawing towers is proposed. Utility Model Content
