Abstract
The invention provides an assembly apparatus and method about manufacturing pigtail. The pigtail assembly apparatus includes a fiber-feeding module, peeling module, gluing module, insertion module and heating module, all controlled by a control module. The fiber-feeding module provides a predetermined length of optical fiber. The peeling module peels the cladding layer at one end of the optical fiber, exposing the core portion. The insertion module inserts the core portion of the optical fiber into a through hole of a glass capillary with adhesive added. The heating module solidifies the adhesive and finally forms a pigtail fiber.
