  • Methods, systems, and apparatuses for facilitating manufacturing a mechanical transfer (MT) optical fiber connector
    Patent number: 11167511
    Abstract: An apparatus for facilitating manufacturing an optical fiber connector termination is disclosed. The apparatus may include a resin dispenser configured for dispensing a resin and including a resin dispenser outlet configured to be coupled with a resin inlet of a molded part. Further, the apparatus may include a vacuum generator configured for generating a negative pressure. Further, the vacuum generator may include a vacuum generator outlet configured to be coupled to at least one vacuum outlet of the molded part. Further, the vacuum generator may be configured for generating the negative pressure utilizing electrical energy. Further, the apparatus may include a controller electrically coupled to each of the resin dispenser and the vacuum generator. Further, the controller may be configured for controlling operation of the resin dispenser and the vacuum generator. Further, controlling operation of the vacuum generator may be based on at least one characteristic of the resin.
