What are the critical safety features and best practices for operating a fiber cable pulling machine?

2025-08-15

Answer: Safety is paramount when operating any cable installation equipment, especially for delicate fiber optic cables. Here are some critical safety features and best practices to follow:

  • Tension Control: Modern machines, like the ones manufactured by Ningbo Changshi, are equipped with advanced tension monitoring systems. This is vital for fiber optic cable installation, as applying too much force can damage the fragile glass fibers within the cable.

  • Operator Training: All personnel should be thoroughly trained on the equipment's operation, safety procedures, and the specific limitations of the cable being installed.

  • Routine Maintenance: Regular inspections and maintenance of the machine's components, such as the hydraulic system, belts, and pulling mechanisms, are essential to prevent unexpected failures during operation.

  • Correct Accessories: Using the proper accessories, such as a suitable pulling grip and anti-twist Swivel, ensures the load is distributed correctly and prevents the cable from twisting.

By using our certified equipment and adhering to these best practices, you can ensure a safe, efficient, and damage-free installation.
