ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method of feeding a plurality of optical waveguides into a clamping device, between whose clamping jaws the optical waveguides are clamped in a side-by-side relationship in one plane. A simple and easily operatable method, which in subsequent production stages ensures the preservation of the relative position of the individual optical waveguides, is obtained in that the clamping device is placed such by means of form-locking elements in a fixed position at a housing member between two sorting forks of the sorting device that feed-in channels of the sorting forks are in alignment with a take-up channel of the clamping device, in that thereafter the optical waveguides are placed in the sorting forks and in the take-up channel which has previously been widened by loosening its clamping jaws, in that the optical waveguides are then pressed together by means of a slide-film material which is inserted into the threading channels and/or the take-up channel, in that the clamping action of the clamping jaws causes the optical waveguides to be clamped and finally the clamping device together with the optical waveguides contained therein is removed from the sorting device.
