Drive synchronization for soot deposition machine to prevent structural formations during deposition processes

A method for depositing SiO2 soot particles on a deposition surface using at least two mutually spaced and adjacent build-up burners, wherein

• the distance between the at least two build-up burners is d;
• and
• the deposition surface is a cylinder jacket surface of a carrier rotating about its longitudinal axis, on which carrier SiO2 soot particles are deposited layer by layer,
• wherein
• the build-up burners perform a translational movement relative to the deposition surface, substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rotating carrier, by an amplitude of the n-fold burner-to-burner distance d, wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 2 and d corresponds to the single burner-to-burner distance,
• the deposition surface rotates m1 times about the longitudinal axis of the carrier, wherein m1 is a positive decimal number other than an integer, and
• the period of time for the m1-times rotation of the longitudinal axis of the carrier is substantially equal to the period of time for the translational movement of the build-up burners from a burner-to-burner distance d.
