Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum Einfuegen eines freien Endes einer rotationssymmetrischen Faser in eine Oeffnung

A maintenance tool (16) grips the fibre (4) or a cable (6) containing the fibre and bared at one end. An initial level (XY) is selected, equivalent to the extended longitudinal axis (14) of the opening (8). The angle alpha is set between a free end section (2) of the fibre gripped (4) at the front of the maintenance tool and the initial level (XY). The fibre is swivelled at the angle alpha, so that the free end section of the fibre comes to rest in the initial level. The angle beta is set between the end section (2) of the fibre and the extended longitudinal axis of the opening. The fibre is swivelled at the angle beta, so that the end section comes to rest on the extended longitudinal axis of the opening or parallel to it. If required, any fibre parallel to the longitudinal axis is transposed crosswise to the longitudinal axis, so that it comes to rest on the extended longitudinal axis. ADVANTAGE - Can be converted into an automated process for use with fibreglass cabling transmitting light waves.
