Power line construction
Tension stringing machine
Platform used
- DS-101
The problem
- Tension and pull force must be held precisely while two drums run in synchronisation; a mismatch damages the conductor.
- The operator works from a control desk, not a cab, and needs tension, speed, pressure, temperature and alarms visible at once.
- Every run has to be recorded, because the utility wants proof of how the conductor was tensioned.
What the system does
- Tension, pull force and speed shown together with per-drum values, so an out-of-sync condition is visible before it becomes damage.
- Twin-drum synchronisation and interlock logic running on the same terminal that displays them — one project, one supplier.
- Key parameters logged on the device and pushed to the cloud for the run report.
- Physical keys and a rotary encoder, because the desk is operated with gloves.
