Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for removing optic fibers from multiple spools of optic fiber involving one or more rotating trees on which spools of optic fiber are seated, a transport passage and a rotating carousel. The free end of a fiber is pulled through the passage and attached to the rotating carousel such that the rotation of the carousel removes the rest of the fiber from the spool(s). The passage can be equipped with one or more rollers to reduce the friction between the fibers and the passage. The carousel may feature retractable rails to facilitate removing the fibers. The passage may also feature a blower and/or a venturi that provides suction to facilitate the movement of one or more fibers through the passage. A reciprocating tracking unit can be used to spread the fibers onto the carousel.
