ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber alignment system for mounting optical fiber arrays on an optical fiber block having a plurality of grooves on its upper surface according to the present invention comprises jig assemblies including a first jig for propping up a part of the optical fiber arrays and a second jig for adsorbing and fixing the other part of the optical fiber arrays using a plurality of vacuum holes formed on the upper side; X-Y-Z-θX-θY-θZstages for translating and rotating the jig assemblies in 3D to align the optical fiber arrays on the block; a vision unit including an image detector to monitor the alignment process of the optical fiber arrays and a display for displaying the image signal on a screen; and, an vision unit translator for translating the vision unit in 3D.
