Disclosed is a fiber inserting apparatus comprising: a fiber clamp; a ferrule clamp opposite to the fiber clamp; and a clamp control controlling relative movement of the fiber clamp and the ferrule clamp on the rails, wherein a fiber inserting operation is performed based on the relative movement towards each other between the fiber clamp and the ferrule clamp. The fiber inserting apparatus may further comprise a straightening section comprising a chamber, elongated slots extending in a fiber inserting direction, a first drive for driving the chamber in a first direction so that the elongated slots move close to and away from the end of the bare fiber, and a second drive driving the chamber to move backwards and forwards in the fiber inserting direction, wherein the elongated slots are in communication with the chamber and a pressure in the chamber is smaller than that in the elongated slots when inserting the fiber. With the present invention, it is possible to simply operate the fiber insertion of 18 ferrules at one time, saving labor time and improving insertion efficiency.

Automatic optical fiber inserting apparatus and fiber inserting method

A system for automatically inserting fibers is disclosed. The system comprises a cable having a plurality of fibers, a ferrule having a plurality of bores, a moving mechanism movable in a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction that are perpendicular to each other, a cable holder mounted on the moving mechanism and holding the cable, and a vision device. The moving mechanism moves the cable holder under the guidance of the vision device to align the plurality of fibers with the ferrule and insert the plurality of fibers into the plurality of bores.
