XYT lapping film recommends using the best ferrules to insure consistent results.

It seems like you're detailing a process for polishing and removing epoxy from MT (Multi-fiber Termination) ferrules, likely for optical fiber connectors. Here's a breakdown and clarification of the steps mentioned:

Polishing MT Ferrules

1. Control and Consistency: Emphasizes the importance of controlling every aspect of the polishing process, especially critical for multi-fiber MT ferrules.

2. Ferrule Quality: Recommends using high-quality ferrules to ensure consistent results.

3. Cleaning Technique: Proper cleaning and polishing techniques are crucial for achieving good results.

4. Sagitta Comet-MT Laser Cleaver: This tool is highlighted for providing a consistent starting point, reducing process time, and improving results.

5. Adjustments: Acknowledges that while the processes and techniques generally work with most commercially available ferrules, some fine-tuning might be necessary.

6. Support: Encourages contacting for assistance to adjust processes as needed to meet specific requirements.

Epoxy Removal for MT Ferrules

1. Epoxy Removal Method: Recommends using 30um or 15um silicon carbide flat PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) film on a glass plate for removing epoxy.

2. Procedure:

   • Load ferrules into a flat polishing fixture with the epoxy window facing away from the center of the plate.
   • Attach the fixture to the machine arm.
   • Lift the arm to a vertical position.
   • Very gently move the polishing plate across all ferrules initially to de-nub the fibers, taking care to avoid fiber breaks.
   • Gradually increase the pressure until the majority of epoxy is removed from all ferrules.
   • Ensures that while the amount of epoxy left is less critical, uniformity in the size of epoxy beads is essential.

3. Next Steps: After epoxy removal, move on to the first leveling step on the appropriate table, presumably for further polishing or preparation.

Conclusion

The procedures outlined are quite detailed, focusing on achieving uniformity and consistency in polishing multi-fiber MT ferrules and ensuring effective epoxy removal. The emphasis on careful handling and adjustments based on specific needs reflects the precision required in optical fiber connector manufacturing processes.
