How does your Conductor Stringing Equipment support the installation of challenging advanced conductors like HTLS and OPGW?

2025-07-20

Installing advanced conductors like HTLS (High-Temperature Low-Sag) and OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) requires specialized capabilities, and our OHTLstringingequipment.com/Conductor-Stringing-Equipment.html target='_blank'>conductor stringing Equipment is specifically engineered to meet these demands:

  • Ultra-Precise Tension Control: Both HTLS and OPGW are highly sensitive to tension variations. Our machines feature extremely accurate, closed-loop hydraulic systems and electronic controls that maintain very tight tolerances on set tension, preventing over-stressing that could damage composite cores (HTLS) or optical fibers (OPGW).

  • Large-Diameter Bullwheels: We utilize bullwheels with significantly larger diameters, often exceeding conventional sizes. This minimizes the bending radius the conductor experiences as it passes over the wheels, crucially protecting the delicate internal structure of OPGW and the composite core of HTLS from micro-bending or cracking.

  • Specialized, Non-Abrasive Bullwheel Linings: The bullwheels are fitted with proprietary, highly durable, and ultra-low friction linings (e.g., specific polyurethane or MC nylon compounds) that prevent any surface damage, abrasion, or crushing of these expensive and sensitive conductors.

  • Lower Pulling Force Settings at High Speeds: Our machines can achieve desired stringing speeds at lower maximum pulling forces, which is gentler on the conductor during the stringing process.

  • Compatibility with OPGW/HTLS-Specific Accessories: The equipment is designed to work seamlessly with specialized OPGW/HTLS pulling grips (which distribute force over a larger area) and high-capacity anti-twist Swivels, which are non-negotiable for these conductor types.

  • Smooth Start/Stop and Variable Speed Control: The ability to achieve extremely smooth acceleration and deceleration, along with infinitely variable speed control, prevents sudden jerks or dynamic stresses on the conductors.

  • Integrated Data Logging: Real-time data logging of tension and speed allows for post-installation verification that the conductor was strung within its specified parameters, crucial for warranty and performance guarantees.
