Abstract
A coating removing device includes a heating section that includes a heater to heat a coating of an optical fiber, and a blade to make an incision in the coating of the optical fiber; a gripping section that grips the optical fiber and is capable of moving with respect to the heating section; and a counter that counts a coating removal event number by detecting separation between the heating section and the gripping section.
Claims9
A coating removing device comprising:
- a heating section that includes:
- a heater that heats a coating of an optical fiber;
- and
- a blade that makes an incision in the coating of the optical fiber;
- a gripping section that grips the optical fiber and moves with respect to the heating section;
- a lid detector;
- a separation detector;
- and
- a counter that counts a coating removal event number when the lid detector detects a closed state of a lid of the heating section and the separation detector detects a separation between the heating section and the gripping section.
