At What Angle Should The Cleaver Cut The Fiber?

In the process of using a fiber optic cutter to cut optical fibers, the appropriate angle should be selected according to the specific cutting requirements and the characteristics of the materials used. Next, we will explore the detailed explanation of the fiber optic cutting angle:
1. Clearly define the cutting angle
In the fiber optic cutting process, the cutting angle usually refers to the angle between the cutting blade and the surface of the object to be processed or the cross-sectional normal of the material to be cut. This perspective plays a vital role in determining the cutting effect, so we should choose the most appropriate cutting angle based on the actual situation.
2. Explore common cutting angles and their performance in different application scenarios
Use a 0-degree longitudinal cutting method:
The position of the blade should be vertically aligned with the normal on the cross section of the material to be cut.
This technology has been widely used in thick plate cutting and component punching of metal materials.
Although cutting from a vertical perspective can ensure the smoothness and verticality of the cut surface, it is generally not recommended for thin plate cutting due to the inefficient use of the hanging part.
The cutting angle should be between 0-30 degrees:
A special acute angle is generated between the cross-sectional normal of the cutting material and the blade.
This angle is the most commonly used cutting method. It has excellent cutting performance and is very suitable for performing most cutting work.
After a series of cutting processes, the surface of the object shows relatively smooth characteristics.
The cutting angle is negative, about -5 degrees:
When the blade of the object is tilted to its surface, it produces a special obtuse angle, which is actually below zero degrees.
This is a highly precise cutting technique designed to enhance the cutting effect.
The stress generated during the cutting operation helps to make the cut shape more refined, thereby improving the cutting quality.
Cutting from a larger angle, this angle exceeds 30 degrees:
A significant sharp angle is formed between the blade and the cross-section normal of the material to be cut.
This method is particularly suitable for cutting materials such as soft materials, plastics and thin metals.
It has the characteristics of fast cutting and does not produce too many cracks or shape changes during the entire cutting process. However, the surface of the object after cutting looks rough, which may involve subsequent processing procedures.
3. Related matters that need special attention
In the process of determining the cutting angle, we must take into account the characteristics of the material to be processed, its thickness and the specific needs of cutting.
The adjustment of the cutting angle may be closely related to the fine design and operation of the cutting knife. Therefore, before actual operation, be sure to carefully study the operating manual of the relevant equipment.
When performing cutting operations, it is crucial to ensure that the cutting knife is always sharp and clean, so as to ensure the high quality and efficiency of the cutting process.
When choosing the cutting angle of the fiber cleaver, we should make decisions based on specific actual conditions. When performing specific operations, we can fine-tune the cutting angle according to the special properties of the material to be processed and the specific requirements of the cutting to achieve the best cutting effect.
