2.2 COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE MANUFACTURER
For any information related to the machine (use, maintenance, spare parts) always state Model, Serial
Number, Manufacturing Year and Order. Those data can be found in the machine-identifying table.
2.3 TYPOLOGY AND USING FIELD
Puller-tensioner mod. AFB506 is suitable to recover or to string one or two conductors, even with
optical fibers, granting a fine regulation both of the maximum and of the minimum pull.
The machine is controlled by a hydraulic system that allows the machine to automatically work in
PULLER or in TENSIONER mode. Each couple of bull-wheels can be independently controlled.
The machine is equipped with a load pre-setting system: this system keeps the pre-set value,
automatically adjusting the speed depending on the friction and unexpected loads that may develop
along the line. Even at "0" speed the system keeps the rope in tension at the pre-set value.
The performances are the same in puller and tensioner mode.
The bull-wheels' grooves are made of nylon interchangeable sectors.
The machine is equipped with quick coupling for the connection to all types of reel winders and reel
elevators made by Tesmec.
This machine should be equipped as optional with a totally new generation of electronics controls that
allow to use multiple similar machines connected between them for multi-conductors stringing
operations.
2.4 PERFORMANCES
HIGH PULL LOW PULL (OPT)
Max. pull 45 kN
– 10.000 lb x 2 or 90 kN – 20.000 lb x 1 14 kN – 3.000 lb x 2
Speed at max pull 2,4 km/h
– 1,5 mph
/
Max. speed 5 km/h
– 3,1 mph
5 km/h
– 3,1 mph
Pull at max. speed 22 kN
– 5000 lb x 2 or 44 kN – 10.000 lb x 1
/
Min. pull / 3 kN
– 650 lb x 2
ATTENTION: the use with ropes or conductors with diameter lower than the max.
admitted one, causes the reduction of the max. applicable pull in comparison with the
min. working load granted by the rope or by the conductor.
Performances are referred to the machine without optional, at sea level and at 20°C.
