3.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CBS Breeze machine is designed to install small diameter cable into underground
tubes.
The machine uses a DC motor and reduction gearing to drive a pair of compliant rollers
(both rollers are driven).
The rollers are covered with a compliant coating to prevent damage to the cable. A
range of different coatings is available depending on the surface texture of the cable
being installed. The rollers may be changed quickly using one simple tool. The
pressure the rollers apply to the cable may be set between zero and maximum.
During installation, the torque applied to the cable by the rollers can be adjusted to
prevent the cable buckling and to prevent damage to the cable. A full range of
accessories is available to allow the machine to handle a wide range of cables and
tubes. This machine has the added function of high/low torque selection; this has been
developed to give greater sensitivity when operating in the low torque region aiding the
installation of small cables (
Ø
<2.5mm, 0.01”).
As pictured above, the machine may be placed on the ground or on a support to bring
the cable to a suitable height. A separate reinforced transit housing is available, this
will protect the machine from damage during transit and can be used as a support for
the machine when being used to install cable.
