Abstract:
1. An apparatus for splicing of optical waveguide sections, comprising: a preprocessing unit by means of which an optical waveguide section can be processed in order to prepare it for a splicing process, wherein the preprocessing unit is fitted to the apparatus for splicing, a holding apparatus for holding the optical waveguide section, wherein the holding apparatus can be attached to the preprocessing unit for processing of the optical waveguide section, a splicing unit for splicing of optical waveguide sections, wherein the splicing unit is fitted to the apparatus for splicing, wherein the holding apparatus can be fitted to the splicing unit for splicing of the optical waveguide sections, a control device for controlling the apparatus for splicing, wherein, after the holding apparatus has been attached to the preprocessing unit, the optical waveguide section can be processed by activating the control device for preparation for the splicing process, wherein, after the holding apparatus has been attached to the splicing unit, the optical waveguide section can be spliced to a further optical waveguide section by activating the control device.
