Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polishing fixture technology, specifically to a fiber optic polishing fixture with a core insert. Background Technology
[0002] A polishing fixture is a tool used to fix, position, and support workpieces. It plays a crucial role in the polishing process. A fiber optic polishing fixture is specifically designed to fix and position fiber optic ferrules for precision polishing, giving the end faces a structure to ensure the fiber end faces achieve the required optical performance and smoothness. The fiber ferrule is a key component in a fiber optic connector, primarily used to fix and align the fiber. It is typically a precision-manufactured small cylinder with a precisely sized hole inside for inserting and securing the fiber. The main function of the fiber ferrule is to ensure precise alignment between the fiber end faces during fiber connection, thereby achieving low-loss optical signal transmission.
