  • METHOD FOR CONTINUOUSLY FORMING OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTOR GLASS AND OTHER CLOSE TOLERANCE TUBES
    Publication number: 20110016925
    Abstract: A method and device for making high precision glass tubes. A glass rod is pushed into a heated chamber and the tube is pulled from the chamber. Preferably, both the push rate and the pull rate are controlled. Fiber optic glass ferrules and other components manufactured by the use of this invention have precision dimensions that fall well within the tight dimensional tolerances required for ferrules and others.

  • Method And Device For Continuously Forming Optical Fiber Connector Glass And Other Close Tolerance Components
    Publication number: 20080127680
    Abstract: A method and device for making high precision glass forms (110). A glass rod (1) is pushed into a melting tube (47) and the glass form is pulled from the chamber. Preferably, both the push rate and the pull rate are controlled. Fiber optic glass ferrules and other components manufactured by the use of this invention have precision dimensions that fall well within the tight dimensional tolerances required for ferrules and others.
