Abstract: Today's assembly of fiber-optic connectors is characterized by a high manual assembly share. Because of the dimensions of the fiber and the ferrule in the range of 125 $mu@m, high precision in the assembly process is required,especially concerning the insertion process of the fiber into the glue- filled ferrule. Still, at present there is no implementation of a process monitoring in the connector assembly to guarantee high and reproducible quality. We will present an assembly cell for an automated insertion process with integrated process monitoring and finally discuss the theoretical aspects behind the process monitoring. !2
