Automatic Laser Weld Machine For Assembling Photonic Components

View page
US Patent:
20020158051, Oct 31, 2002
Filed:
Apr 25, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/843044
Inventors:
Robert Heitel - Laguna Beach CA, US
Ramin Ershadi - Los Angeles CA, US
Cathal Flanagan - Mission Viejo CA, US
Michael Heuser - Foothill Ranch CA, US
Douglas Hutchings - Rancho Cucamonga CA, US
International Classification:
B23K026/22
B23K026/42
US Classification:
219/121630, 219/121820, 219/121760
Abstract:
An automatic handling assembly that can load and unload photonic package components into a laser station. The laser station may include three lasers that weld the package components in a horizontal position. The package components may include a sleeve coupled to an optical fiber and a fiber package. The package may be mounted to a yoke that may “gimbal” about tooling plates. The yoke may include vacuum pulled friction bands that lock and unlock the position of the package. The package tooling may also have an actuator to apply a biasing force to the yoke to offset the affects of gravity. Additionally, the package tooling may have an actuator that can couple and de-couple electrical contacts to the yoke.

US Patent:
20040146267, Jul 29, 2004
Filed:
Jan 23, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/350481
Inventors:
Cathal Flanagan - Mission Viejo CA, US
Kirk Matthes - Fountain Valley CA, US
Randy Heyler - Newport Beach CA, US
International Classification:
G02B006/00
US Classification:
385/147000
Abstract:
Disclosed is a fiber loading station that is used to load and align a fiber optic cable into a fiber chuck assembly. The fiber chuck assembly and aligned fiber are mounted to a pallet that can be loaded into a package assembly station such as a laser welder. The laser welder can solder the fiber to a package of a fiber module. The fiber is pre-aligned within the loading station so that the operator of the package assembly station does not have to waste time aligning the fiber with the package in the laser welder. One fiber may be loaded at the loading station while another fiber is being soldered to a package in the laser welder. Having a separate fiber loading station allows a production facility to both align fiber and solder fiber to a package in a parallel overlapping process. This reduces the assembly time, increases throughput and decreases assembly cost to manufacture a photonic package.

3-Point Bare Fiber Gripper

View page
US Patent:
20050041948, Feb 24, 2005
Filed:
Sep 9, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/659463
Inventors:
Cathal Flanagan - Mission Viejo CA, US
Kirk Matthes - Fountain Valley CA, US
International Classification:
G02B006/00
US Classification:
385136000
Abstract:
A gripper that has a pin coupled to a pair of fingers. The gripper is used to grasp and move a fiber optic cable. The pin provides a reference surface that constrains the movement of the cable along a vertical or z-axis relative of the gripper. Constraining the fiber optic cable insures a more repeatable placement of the cable within the gripper. The gripper may include a groove that captures the fiber optic cable and is located along the fingers so that a portion of the fiber optic cable extends below a bottom surface of the gripper fingers. This allows the cable to be in contact with another surface during an assembly process such as soldering to a fiber module substrate.
