Dancer Arm

PASSER's Dancer Arm setup ensures that both operational errors and mechanical faults are detected early. The system can respond effectively to prevent cable and equipment damage and maintain safe and continuous production.

In addition to regulating cable tension, the dancer arm also functions as a mechanical buffer. In the events of an unexpected stop or irregularity in the system, the dancer arm provides a temporary cable reserve. This buffer gives the operator critical extra time to stop the basket or carousel before the cable or laying system is subjected to potential damage. 

Dynamic Regulation

Dynamically regulating the speed of the slave tensioner located upstream carousel.

 

Reduced Stress

Reduce dynamic stress on the cable

Smooth Operation

Evens out production spikes and provides a safe buffer throughout the spooling process 

Mitigate Production Variations

Compensates for minor tension or slack variations
