What is the purpose of the cable rack?
As a key construction equipment, the pay off rack plays an important role in multiple fields such as power, communication, construction, and industrial manufacturing. Its core uses can be summarized as supporting wire reels, adjusting pay off parameters, protecting wires, adapting to multi scene construction, and improving construction efficiency and safety.
1、 Supporting and fixing wire reels
Stable support: The pay off rack, with its sturdy structural design (such as vertical and horizontal frames), can stably support various types of cable reels, steel wire rope reels, fiber optic reels, etc., preventing them from rolling, tilting, or tipping due to gravity or external forces during the pay off process, thereby ensuring the stability of the construction process.
Adapt to different specifications of wire reels: The pay off rack can be customized or adjusted according to parameters such as the diameter, width, and weight of the wire reels to meet the support requirements of different specifications of wire reels. For example, hydraulic pay off racks can adapt to wire reels of different heights by adjusting the hydraulic system, while shaftless pay off racks facilitate quick replacement of wire reels of different sizes.
2、 Adjust the laying parameters
Control the laying speed: The active laying frame is equipped with active driving devices (such as motors and reducers), which can accurately control the laying speed to match the construction progress and avoid affecting the construction quality due to too fast or too slow laying.
Adjusting the tension during wire laying: The wire laying rack can monitor and adjust the tension during the laying process in real time through tension control devices such as tension sensors and tension adjusters, ensuring that the wire maintains a constant tension during the laying process and avoiding deformation, breakage, or construction quality problems caused by tension fluctuations. For example, accurate tension control is crucial for ensuring the transmission performance of optical fibers in fiber optic communication construction.
Adjusting the laying height: The laying frame can flexibly adjust the height of the wire reel through hydraulic systems, mechanical lifting devices, or electromagnetic brakes to adapt to different construction environments and requirements. For example, in the construction of overhead power lines, the pay off frame can adjust the pay off height according to the tower height to facilitate the laying and connection of wires.
3、 Protect the wire
Preventing wire damage: The wire laying rack can reduce the friction and collision between the wire and the ground, obstacles, etc. during the laying process, thereby reducing the risk of wire damage. For example, the static cable laying rack is equipped with protective devices such as ground cable pulleys, which can provide protection when laying cable conductors and prevent them from being damaged due to friction.
Keep the wires clean: Through reasonable cable layout design and tension control, the pay off stand can ensure that the wires are arranged neatly without entanglement or knotting during the pay off process, making it easier for subsequent construction and handling.
4、 Adapt to multi scenario construction
Electric power construction: In the construction of power lines, pay off racks are used to support and lay cables, wires and other wires, and are indispensable equipment for overhead lines, cable laying and other projects. For example, the horizontal pay off rack is suitable for supporting the wire reel during line construction, and the wire reel can automatically rotate and lay when pulling wires and ground wires.
Communication construction: In fiber optic communication construction, pay off racks are used to support and lay out fiber optic reels, ensuring that the fibers maintain constant tension and neat arrangement during the laying process, thereby ensuring the transmission performance of the fibers. For example, the vertical tension pay off stand is suitable for laying out multi head copper wire strands, with air pressure tension adjustment and automatic shutdown function for wire breakage. It can also be used for laying out construction of optical fibers and other wires.
Construction and Industrial Manufacturing: In construction sites and industrial manufacturing fields, pay off racks are used to support and lay wire ropes, welding wires, and other wires to meet the requirements of lifting, welding, and other processes. For example, the shaftless pay off rack facilitates quick replacement of wire rope reels of different sizes to meet the needs of different lifting operations.
5、 Improve construction efficiency and safety
Improving construction efficiency: The design of the pay off rack through automation and mechanization reduces the time and labor intensity of manual operation, thereby improving construction efficiency. For example, the active pay off rack can automatically control the pay off speed and tension, allowing construction personnel to focus more on other construction processes.
Enhancing construction safety: The pay off rack reduces safety risks during the construction process by stabilizing the support wire reel, adjusting the pay off parameters, and protecting the wires. For example, preventing the spool from rolling or tilting can avoid causing harm to construction personnel; Accurate tension control can prevent wire breakage or ejection from injuring people.
