Abstract
An optical fiber polishing arm positioning assembly for use with an optical fiber polisher, the optical fiber polisher including a first pivot connection interconnecting a base and a proximal end of an arm assembly, comprises a positioning member and an actuator. The positioning member is configured and arranged to be operatively connected to the arm assembly, and the actuator is configured and arranged to move the positioning member thereby moving the arm assembly about the first pivot connection to vary positions of the arm assembly relative to the base.
