摘要:
Apparatus for applying traction to an elongate cylindrical element produced by fusion of an end portion of a preform of glass material, in which a traction device is capable of being connected to a portion of the elongate cylindrical element to provide traction of the elongate cylindrical element along an axis. A device for the rotation of the elongate cylindrical element applies a twist to the elongate cylindrical element about the axis simultaneously with the traction.

An optical cable for communication includes at least one retaining element blocked with respect to the water propagation as well as a process for manufacturing such an optical cable. The optical cable includes, in addition to the retaining element, at least two transmission elements housed within the retaining element and a water swellable yarn housed within the retaining element. The water swellable yarn is selected according to the following equation: V w V TF = k V t + R ( I ) in which Vw is the volume of the water swellable yarn after swelling upon contact with water; VTF is the total free volume in the retaining element; k is a constant≧180; R is a constant≧1.4; and Vt is the free volume per each transmission element. Advantageously, the optical cable is water-blocked and the water swellable yarn does not induce microbending effects on the transmission elements.

摘要:
Process for manufacturing a cable comprising the following steps:(a) conveying at least one conductor to an extruder apparatus;(b) extruding an insulating coating layer radially external to said at least one conductor; (c) longitudinally folding a metal tape around said extruded insulating coating layer, said metal tape bearing at least one adhesive coating layer in a radially external position; (e) extruding at least one continuous coating layer comprising at least one polyamide or a copolymer thereof around and in contact with said folded metal tape; wherein the step (e) is carried out at a draw down ratio (DDR) not higher than 2.5, preferably of from 1.2 to 2.0.
摘要:
An apparatus (100) and method cleans a batch of pellets or granules prior to use in an extrusion process. Loose contaminants having material characteristics that are undersired for the extruded product are first removed (110) from the batch using a deduster. The deduster may also remove uncontaminated fines and fluff from the batch. Pellets that are defective or otherwise undersired for the extrusion process as well as other loose particle contaminants can then be efficiently detected and removed (120) without the risks of fines clogging the apparatus or shielding the detection process. Magnets may help remove (130) particulates of ferrous material before or after the removal (120) of defective pellets. The resulting batch of pellets helps to produce extruded materials of higher quality, such as insulation material in electrical cables.
摘要:
A method and device for manufacturing a preform for optical fibers through chemical deposition on a substrate for deposition arranged vertically is described, comprising a chemical deposition chamber including at least one gripping member rotatably mounted about an axis Z-Z and adapted to hold at least one end of at least one elongated element constituting a substrate for chemical deposition for the formation of a preform for optical fibers. The chamber includes, moreover, at least one burner which is mobile along a direction Z substantially parallel to said axis Z-Z and adapted to deposit, on said at least one elongated element, a chemical substance for the formation of a preform and at least one suction element for collecting exhaust chemical substances, said at least one suction element being arranged on the opposite side to said at least one burner with respect to said axis Z-Z and being mobile along said direction Z. Said at least one suction element is advantageously positioned at a different height (preferably lower) with respect to that of said at least one burner to optimise the fluid dynamic conditions inside the chemical deposition chamber.
摘要:
A method of disposing a tubular covering sleeve for electric-cable joints on a supporting element may include arranging the sleeve in a rest and not yet expanded condition; causing radial expansion of the sleeve starting from axially opposite end portions; and arranging the sleeve in a radially expanded condition on the supporting element. Radial expansion of the sleeve may be carried out gradually, starting from the end portions of the sleeve toward an axially intermediate portion of the sleeve. The method of may include arranging the sleeve; arranging a pair of expanders, each at a respective end of the sleeve and at a substantially coaxial position relative to the sleeve; introducing the expanders into the respective ends of the sleeve; abutting distal ends of the expanders against each other at an axially intermediate portion of the sleeve; and arranging the sleeve in a radially expanded condition on the supporting element.
摘要:
A method of coating the junction area between elongated elements, in particular between electric cables. This method includes the steps of: arranging a rigid tubular support having two axially separable tubular halves; mounting an elastic tubular sleeve in an elastically radially expanded condition on an outer surface of the support; interposing a lubricating material between the support and sleeve; arranging a circumferentially continuous sealing element between the halves to prevent the lubricant from percolating between the halves; positioning the support around the junction area; and moving the halves apart from each other to enable the sleeve to collapse on the junction area. A device for coating the junction area between elongated elements and a method of making the device and a joint for electric cables.

Optical fiber has a glass portion and at least one coating of crosslinked polymer material surrounding the glass portion, the coating being obtained by crosslinking a composition of (a) at least one radically crosslinkable oligomer containing at least two reactive functional groups and having a number average molecular weight lower than about 1,000, preferably between about 400 and about 900; (b) at least one cationically crosslinkable compound containing at least one reactive functional group; (c) at least one free radical photoinitiator; and (d) at least one cationic photoinitiator. Preferably, the coating is a secondary coating or, in the case of a ribbon of optical fibers, it is a common polymer coating known as a “common coating”.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method as well as to a joint assembly (12) for splicing a first and a second eclectic cable (1, 2) by means of a tubular elastic sleeve (15) at a splicing zone (11) between such cables (1, 2), said tubular sleeve (15) being supported in an expanded condition on a removable hollow supporting element (16) detachable in a first supporting portion (17) and a second supporting portion (18). The method of the invention comprises the steps of—providing a tubular elastic sleeve (15) supported in a radially expanded condition on a removable hollow supporting element (16) detachable in a first supporting portion (17) and a second supporting portion (18),—placing the sleeve (15) fitted on the supporting element (16) substantially coaxially with one of the first electric cable (1) and of the second electric cable (2) and radially external thereto,—forming an electric connection between the conductors (3, 4) thereby obtaining a splicing zone (11),—placing the sleeve (15) fitted on the supporting element (16) substantially coaxially with said the zone (11) and radially external thereto,—triggering an axial displacement of the first and second supporting portions (17, 18) so as to start an elastic recovering of the tubular sleeve (15) onto the splicing zone (11) capable to expel the first and second supporting portions (17, 18) from the sleeve (15) at an expulsion speed, and—adjusting the expulsion speed of the first and second supporting portions (17, 18) away from the splicing zone (11) so as to adapt the expulsion speed to the elastic recovering of the tubular sleeve (15).
