The first semi-automatic cable blowing unit with blowing assistant and electronic blowing data memory. Now in series production.

The new IntelliJet is a pioneering, intelligent blowing system that facilitates the blowing of fibre optic mini cables for the operator and improves installation quality. Cable layers as well as clients benefit from these improvements.

At the heart of the innovation is the measurement, presentation and control of the pushing force, which is transferred onto the cable by the drive system. The pushing force is constantly verified against the maximum permissible pushing force, which is determined through the crash test, and which will be specified in the cable data sheet in the future. A second assistant monitors the cable slippage. Both assistants give the operator an indication as soon the blowing procedure approaches a critical range and provide information on counter-measures. If the critical range is exceeded, the blowing unit stops. In this way, damage to cables can be avoided, the responsibility of the blow-in operator is relieved and the blowing quality is increased.

A clear blowing log with an electronic data transfer completes the new system. The new IntelliJet not only helps meet the minimum requirements for automatic logging of Deutsche Telekom but also the far-reaching demands for automated blowing processes. In addition to the new device, the IntelliJet can also be created from the tried and tested “MiniJet” blowing unit by means of an upgrade. With the IntelliJet, sustainability for further automation levels is also guaranteed. The main benefits for cable layers are:

A customer MiniJet of the P01 and P02 (from 2011) series can be upgraded at Vetter to the IntelliJet version. An “upgrade” machine such as this has no disadvantages compared with the new device when put to practical use on the construction site. Upon customer request, during this upgrade the condition of the MiniJet can also be checked at the same time, a maintenance offer issued, if necessary, and carried out on acceptance of the service. In this way, the overhauled, newly upgraded IntelliJet blowing unit will once again be well prepared for the upcoming challenges of the various blowing projects.

IntelliBox IBN 02 for displaying and checking the thrust force and cable slip during cable laying. Both assistants of the blow-in unit give the operator a hint via the IntelliBox as soon as the blow-in process approaches a critical area and inform about countermeasures. The IntelliBox automatically recognises the connected machine type of the injection unit. The clear injection protocol can be transmitted very easily via the WiFi function of the IntelliBox to any receiver device such as a tablet or notebook.

The new pressure test device combines three test methods in one electronic device. General test rules” individual selectable acc. requirements from the customer - The requirement from Deutsche Telekom acc. “ZTV-TKNETZ 40” - The low-pressure test acc. EN 1610:2015 as well as worksheet DWA-A-139:2009

The high-pressure test is presently the most frequent test method in the range of pressure tests for protective ducts. This test method will be performed at thick-walled protective ducts and subducts (micro ducts). With regards to the protective ducts, ducts with OD 50/40/32 mm are most frequently used application. For subducts a wider range of ducts can be tested from 7x1,5 until 20x2,5 mm. The high-pressure test distinguish between two different targets:

The DPG 17U Universal pressure test device for test of cable ducts with regards to protective ducts and subducts working in the range of 0…7 bar. The operation is made by a 7” colour-graphic-touch display. The new device support the user through a simple and menu-driven operation. With the help of a matrix (table) three different test methods can be selected. Those are “General test rules” individual selectable acc. requirements from the customer, the requirement from Deutsche Telekom acc. “ZTV-TKNETZ 40” and the low-pressure test acc. “EN 1610:2015”. This results in a maximum support for the user.

The result of the pressure test is summarized in a clear test protocol with three core areas. The test protocol will be stored on the device and can be loaded by a USB-interface to a customary PC.

Case for accessory of high pressure test devices, without parts, with 12 shelves as following:

The calibration sets MKV 0810 and MKV 1116 in conjunction with the accessory micro- transmitter SKS 06 (code-no. 231941) and SKS 06 (code-no. 231954) are destined for the calibration of subducts with an internal diameter 8,0 to 16,0 mm. The calibration can be done for single subducts as well as for multi subducts. By the calibration defects or blockages on the subducts can be detected in advance thus a good blowing-in performance can be achieved. The MKV 0810 set contains two calibres with different diameters for the calibration of subducts with internal diameter 8,0 or 9,8-10,0 mm. The MKV 1116 set contains three different calibres for testing subducts of ID 11,4-16,0 mm. The calibres are easily screwed onto the micro-transmitter and blown through the subducts by air-pressure. The set also contains all essential connectors, reducing nipples as well as a catcher for the micro-transmitter. The catcher has to be used in order to avoid damages to the micro-transmitter. The air-pressure for the calibration has to be limited to max. 4 bars for MKV 0810 and to max. 2 bars for MKV 1116. By applying a higher pressure the micro-transmitter might be damaged by hitting duct blockages or by hard crashing into the catcher at the very end. The set contains the following parts:

The calibration set MKK 0606 in conjunction with the micro transmitter SKS 04 is foreseen to calibrate subducts with inner diameter D 6.0 mm only. The calibration can be performed for single subducts as well as for multi subducts in buried and protective pipe installed versions. This new calibration set supports the blowing-in of mini- and micro cables on a completely new level since the quality of a sub duct installation can be checked in general.

The set comprises of 3 calibres with protection sponge having a diameter of 4.8 mm, a collecting device for the pipe end, a spare battery cover and 2 spare batteries. The calibre will be simply unscrewed on the micro transmitter and with the sponge ahead blown-into the pipes using compressed air. The micro transmitter is a precision engineered measuring device, which has to be handled in the civil engineering with special care. Never operate the transmitter without protection sponge, bumper and collecting device fixed at the end of the pipe. Attentions should be paid to max. possible bending radius and air injection pressure ??" too high air pressure can cause damages on the calibration set.

During backward blowing the enclosed collecting device has to be used or at least a sufficient padding of another collecting device shall be implemented.

Multi ducts can be detected in short distances through the average duct of dia. 12x2,0 or 14x2,0 mm laying in the centre. The micro transmitter SKS 06 of diam. 6,4 mm and SKS 07 of diam. 7.5 mm are screwed on the M5 thread of the mini-rod diam. 3 mm. The obtainable pushing length depends on the local condition but is limited anyway by the max. length of the mini rod of 50 m. Using lubricant relieves pushing and pulling back the transmitter. Detection depth in the ground is max. 2 m. The yellow or red mini rod can be used for inserting the micro transmitter.

The catching device guarantees that the micro-transmitter is safely caught at the end of the tube and does not hit the ground unprotected.

The micro transmitter enters the catching device and is caught in the circular guide until it comes to a stop. This prevents the micro transmitter from being damaged or destroyed.

Locating device with 2 batteries, for locating blown-in calibres in cable protection pipes or in subducts (micro pipes), as well as for locating non-metallic pipelines and blockages with the pipe coils, yellow or red D 4.5-11. There are the following possible applications:

Cable drum unwinder for very small drums with one or two flanges. The unwinder can accommodate a wide variety of drums with a bore from 20 mm by combining different cones. Due to its low weight of only 6.4 kg, it is very handy and yet has a high stability. This makes it very safe to use, e.g. for in-house cabling.

Cable unwinder for small drums, even with damaged flanged wheels for electric installation works. Tubular steel construction galvanized. Consisting of: basic frame with 2 rubber coated wheels, one drum shaft D 25 mm with 2 cones of polyamide for hole diameter 25-80 mm.

Drum unwinding stand for FOC or subduct drums, galvanized. Equipped with a lightweight aluminium shaft D 75 mm with drum shaft securing and 2 clamps.

FigarinO. The FOC basket is used if the cable is to long to be blown completely with only one blowing machine. When half of the cable is installed in one direction the remaining cable is pushed into the FigarinO with the blowing machine. Out of the FigarinO this part of the cable can be blown uncut in the opposite direction to finish the installation. A second application is "overblowing" longer cables. Instead of laying these on figure of eight on the floor they can be blown in the FigarinO. After opening the FigarinO the cable ring can be turned around and the cable can be blown-in totally.
