Abstract
An automatic injection system for injecting an adhesive into a plurality of bores of a multi-bore ferrule comprises an injector, a first clamp holding the ferrule at a first adhesive injection station, and a second clamp holding the ferrule at a second adhesive injection station. The injector injects the adhesive into an injection opening in the ferrule. A plurality of optical fibers are not disposed in the bores of the ferrule and the injector injects the adhesive into the ferrule until the bores are fully filled with the adhesive at the first adhesive injection station. The optical fibers are disposed in the bores of the ferrule filled with the adhesive and the injector again injects the adhesive into the ferrule at the second adhesive station to compensate for a loss of adhesive during an insertion of the optical fibers into the bores.
