  • Publication number: 20230201886
    Abstract: A device for cleaning an end face of an optical fiber may apply a vacuum to a solvent tank, where the device includes a vacuum generator to apply the vacuum and the solvent tank. The device may receive, from a solvent reservoir and in response to applying the vacuum, solvent with the solvent tank. Additionally, or alternatively, a device for cleaning an end face of an optical fiber may apply a pressure to a solvent reservoir, where the device includes a pressure port to apply the pressure and a solvent tank. The device may receive, from the solvent reservoir and in response to applying the pressure, solvent with the solvent tank.

  • Publication number: 20210370359
    Abstract: A device for cleaning an end face of an optical fiber may receive a first pressure signal from a first pressure sensor, wherein the device includes a pneumatic circuit, wherein the pneumatic circuit includes: one or more circuit components, the first pressure sensor, and a second pressure sensor. The device may receive a second pressure signal from the second pressure sensor. The device may determine, based on the first pressure signal and the second pressure signal, whether a pressure difference across a circuit component, of the one or more circuit components, satisfies a threshold. The device may perform, based on the pressure difference across the circuit component not satisfying the threshold, one or more actions.
