ABSTRACT:
A system and method for preparing an abraded fiber optic ribbon are provided. This system uses a flat abrasion panel containing a design, such as a company logo, and contacting it directly with a fiber optic ribbon, pressing devices to feed and press the panel and the fiber optic ribbon against each other as the design is being processed onto the fiber optic ribbon, and adjustable speed and differential pressure devices are used to drive the pressing devices. In addition, at least one of the pressing devices may be heated to enhance the processing of the pattern onto the fiber optic ribbon. Particularly, the pressing includes a first roller and a second roller defining a nip through which the panel and the fiber optic ribbon are being fed and pressed against each other. Alternatively, the pressing includes a first plate and a second plate defining a pressing zone in which the panel and the fiber optic ribbon are being fed and pressed against each other. Further, shimstock of variable thickness or wedge with a constant sloping thickness attached to a supporting pad can be used between the panel and the fiber optic ribbon in a press plate system to obtain a predetermined pattern along a length of the fiber optic ribbon due to differential pressure or uniform differential pressure respectively, being applied to the length of the fiber optic ribbon.
