Abstract: An unloading arm manipulation training device is provided. The device includes: a frame having a training space inwardly; at least one screen which is provided in the frame and onto which an unloading arm training image is projected; and at least one image output unit that outputs the unloading arm training image toward the screen, wherein the at least one image output unit is provided outside the frame to output the unloading arm training image toward an outer surface of the at least one screen, thereby preventing a trainee located in the frame from being projected on the at least one screen.

Abstract: A spool for winding an optical fiber includes flanges attached to each other using an ultrasonic fusion splicer. The spool has first and second cylindrical barrels, on which the optical fiber is wound. The flanges have a disk shape and protrude radially from the first and second cylindrical barrels so as to restrict the winding area of the optical fiber. Ultrasonic fusion splicing points form along a junction by engaging the first and second cylindrical barrels in an axial direction so as to face each other, locating a head of an ultrasonic fusion splicer on the junction and generating an ultrasonic wave from the head to the junction so as to fusion splice the first and second flanges together.

Abstract: An apparatus for drawing an optical fiber and a method for controlling the feed speed of an optical fiber preform whereby the drawing speed of an optical fiber is stabilized to keep the size of the outer diameter uniform. The capstan speed is determined based on the outer diameter of the optical fiber. When the capstan speed is out of a target speed range, the preform feed speed is controlled to bring the capstan speed into the target range. A control unit includes a calculation unit for receiving a drawing speed signal output from the capstan and calculating a feed speed of the perform. The control unit regulates the outer diameter of the optical fiber by regulating the speed of the capstan according to a signal received from the outer diameter measurement unit indicating a change in the outer diameter of the optical fiber.
