摘要： A drive towards automation, particularly in the fiber optics industry, has necessitated the use of materials and methods better suited for use by machines. The present invention takes advantage of the magnetic properties of these materials to create a strong magnetic bond between separate elements while they are being connected. Two independently controllable chucks (1,4) are used to align the elements (2,6) in accordance with design requirements. After proper alignment, the elements are magnetically attracted together and then permanently fixed using any one of a variety of standard methods, such as welding. In the embodiment of the invention used specifically in the fiber optics industry, the alignment process includes measuring the light transmitted or reflected by the two elements.

摘要翻译： 实现自动化，特别是在光纤行业中的驱动力，必须使用更适合机器使用的材料和方法。 本发明利用这些材料的磁特性在分离元件连接时产生强磁性键。 两个可独立控制的卡盘（1,4）用于根据设计要求对准元件（2,6）。 在正确对准之后，将元件磁吸引到一起，然后使用各种标准方法（例如焊接）中的任何一种永久地固定。 在本发明的光纤行业特别使用的实施例中，对准过程包括测量由两个元件透射或反射的光。
