Abstract

L'invention concerne un outil destiné à préparer une surface terminale de fibre optique, qui comprend un appareil (502) comportant une plieuse (518) de fibres et une découpeuse (520) pour sectionner une fibre. L'appareil (502) peut comprendre une surface de polissage (512), une porte de découpage (508) pouvant tourner entre une position d'ouverture et une position de fermeture et recouvrant un collecteur (522) de fragments, ainsi qu'un support (514) servant à fixer de manière amovible un instrument porte-fibres ou un galet-presseur (506). Le galet-presseur (506) comprend un corps (530), un verrou (532) relié au corps (530) par une charnière (534), et une face (540) comprenant un plateau fixé pivotant à une extrémité du corps (530) et possédant un orifice pour fibres (550) qui traverse le plateau. Le corps (530) du galet-presseur (506) comprend un logement destiné à accueillir un support de fibres (172) qui sert à solidariser une fibre (178) à une extrémité de la fibre qui sort par l'orifice (550) de la face (540). La face (540) du galet-presseur (506) peut être insérée dans les rainures de guidage (516) adjacentes à la découpeuse (520) pour sectionner la fibre.
