Specialized press molds Ceramic Optical Ferrules. (Injection Molding).


Ceramic ferrules used in fiber-optic connectors There are numerous types of plugs and sockets to connect optical fibers, using threaded, bayonet, push-pull and snap-lock connections. The first fiber-optic connector to be standardized was SMA, which was followed by the SC, ST and FC types.  can be produced from zirconia powder with a plastic binder in a specialized injection machine available from Nissei America Inc., Anaheim, Calif. Ferrules are ultra-high precision parts that fix optical fibers in a connector with sub-micron positioning accuracy.

The new Optical Ferrule A ceramic, plastic or stainless steel part of a fiber-optic plug that holds the end of the fiber and precisely aligns it to the socket. The fiber is inserted into the ferrule and cemented with an epoxy or adhesive, which gives it long-term mechanical strength and prevents contamination  Production System is based on Nissei's PN-series all-electric press used for molding fine-pitch connectors. The press comes in 20- and 40-ton models and features an ultra-high wear-resistant screw and barrel, and a special screw tip and nozzle designed to ensure stable molding. The complete system also includes a mold, automated takeout and gate cutting, a debinding furnace, sintering sintering, process of forming objects from a metal powder by heating the powder at a temperature below its melting point. In the production of small metal objects it is often not practical to cast them.  furnace, and polishing device. The system produces ferrules with ID/OD eccentricity eccentricity, in astronomy: see orbit.
