Cater Pullers
Cater Pullers are used as a means of providing consistent
pull of conduit and cables, usually as the product is exiting
out of a prior process such as armoring or extruding, or even
from a pay-off. They can pull a wide variety of flat or round
armor as large as 5" in diameter, and as small as 1/4" in
diameter. Our Cater Pullers come with different styles of belts,
depending on the application.
Key Features
CALMEC developed Cater Pullers with significant feature
benefits including AC Flux Vector Drives, pneumatic compression
and tension control.
Display Scaling
CALMEC can provide a meaningful ratio display to suit the
application. For example, if conduit or armored cable is run, we
can display convolutions per foot/meter of product.
Operator Interface
Our machines have a fully programmable operator interface,
which can display any pertinent data, permit electronic gear
ratios, and provide display scaling. Length measuring and line
speed is also provided.
Reduced Maintenance
The use of a flux vector AC drive system eliminates the
higher maintenance DC motor. The only item that ever needs
changing is the belt.
Specifications
- Minimum/Maximum Product Diameters:
1/4" - 5"
- Maximum Speed:
20 FPM to 1000 FPM application dependent
- Belt Contact Length:
20"-36" depending on series
- Drive Type:
Single Motor AC Flux Vector
AC Flux Vector
On all our latest machines is the insertion of AC Flux Vector
Drive technology, comprising of a flux vector AC motor and drive
controller. This replaces the traditional higher maintenance DC
motor drives.
Pneumatics
CALMEC developed and deploys multiple air cushions pneumatic
compression and tension in order to provide consistent pressure
to the product run through the unit. Both belt compression and
belt tension are pressure adjustable to suit the style of belt
used and the product being pulled.
