ABSTRACT:
An automatic optical measuring apparatus for optical fibers which is designed to automatically perform a series of steps from processing tips to optical measurement of a plurality of jacketed optical fibers each comprising at least one optical fiber provided with a jacket. The automatic optical measuring apparatus is equipped with first through third array units wherein a plurality of first through third holders are arranged; first through third tip processing units for processing the ends of the individual optical fibers; first and second optical measuring units; first and second connecting units for connecting each end of the jacketed optical fiber to the optical measuring apparatus and a light source; first through third carrying units which carry the first through third holders; a haul-in unit which hauls in and cuts a specified length of the jacketed optical fiber held in the second holder at the end on the first holder; a hand-over unit which hands over the cut end of the jacketed optical fiber on the second holder onto the third holder; and a controlling unit which controls the operation of each of the aforementioned component units.
