Abstract
An apparatus and method for chemical deposition on a rod member having a support structure for supporting the rod member substantially coaxial to a deposition axis; a burner for depositing chemical substances on the rod member; and a rotation device for imparting a rotation motion to the rod member. The rotation device has a joint member of a type suitable to transmit torque between two misaligned members, for example, a double universal joint or a flexible joint, positioned between a motor and a rod gripping member.
