Optical Fiber Manufacturing Process Explained | Step-by-Step Diagram #1985457 (License: Personal Use)

This diagram outlines the key stages in optical fiber production: a glass preform (1) is fed into a drawing tower, guided by rollers (2-3), then heated in a high-temperature furnace (5) to soften it for drawing. The molten glass is pulled into a thin fiber, coated immediately (4), and wound onto spools (6-7) under tension control. Precision alignment and real-time diameter monitoring ensure consistent optical performance.
