Selecting the Right Polishing Film Based on Fiber Optic Ferrule Material
Selecting the Right Polishing Film Based on Ferrule Material
Choosing the right polishing film depends on the ferrule material, as each type requires specific abrasives and polishing steps to achieve a precise and high-quality finish. Below is a detailed guide:
Ferrule Material | Recommended Abrasives | Typical Polishing Steps | Recommended Film Types |
---|---|---|---|
Zirconia (Ceramic) | Diamond, Silicon Dioxide | 9µm → 6µm → 3µm (Diamond) → 1µm (Diamond) → 0.02µm (SiO₂) | Diamond Lapping Film, ADS Final Polishing Film |
Stainless Steel | Diamond, Silicon Carbide | 9µm → 3µm → 1µm (Diamond) → Final Polish | Diamond Lapping Film, SiC Polishing Film |
Plastic (Polymer) | Aluminum Oxide, Silicon Carbide | 12µm → 3µm (Al₂O₃) → 1µm (Final) | AO Polishing Film, SiC Film |
Glass Ferrule | Cerium Oxide, Diamond | 6µm → 3µm → 1µm (Diamond) → Final Polish (CeO₂) | Diamond Polishing Film, Cerium Oxide Polishing Film |
Key Considerations When Choosing a Polishing Film for Ferrules
-
Abrasive Material:
- Diamond: Best for zirconia and stainless steel due to its hardness.
- Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂): Ideal for the final polish of fiber optic connectors.
- Aluminum Oxide (Al₂O₃): Suitable for plastic ferrules to prevent damage.
- Silicon Carbide (SiC): Used for intermediate polishing of various ferrule materials.
- Cerium Oxide (CeO₂): Preferred for high-precision glass polishing.
-
Grit Size Progression:
- Start with coarse grit for material removal (30µm, 15µm, 9µm, 6µm).
- Use medium grit for shaping and refining (3µm, 1µm).
- Finish with ultra-fine grit (0.02µm) for a mirror-like surface.
-
Film Format:
- Sheets, rolls, or discs depending on machine type.
- With or without PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) for easy handling.
