An end to end joining of two similar materials aimed at obtaining continuity of surface thickness. Should be used when applying mounting tape to cylinders for printing plates.
Film splice in which the ends come together without overlapping; ends are held together by splicing tape.
Two pieces of coated abrasive "butted" together (with no overlap) to form an endless belt. A very strong, thin, Mylar® tape is used on the back of the splice to hold it together. Belts made in this configuration are bi-directional and run smoother.
A joining of two fibers using optical connectors arranged end-to-end with a coupling device.
A splice made by joining tape end to end without overlapping. The splice is assembled by a thin single coated tape centered on both sides.
A splice where two wires from opposite ends butt against each other, or against a stop in the center of a splice.
A splice made by joining tape end-to-end without overlapping. Held together with a special tape.
Device for joining conductors by butting them end-to-end.
A joining of two fibers without optical connectors arranged end-to-end by means of a coupling. Fusion splicing is an example. A mechanical splice is shown.
