The application belongs to the technical field of
submarine cables, and particularly relates to a method and
system for optical cable pay-off
tension control for optical and electrical composite
submarine cable cabling, wherein a
control unit is used to control an optical cable pay-off reel to reduce tension, and meanwhile, the production speed of a cabling
machine is controlled to be reduced, and the biggest
advantage of reducing the production speed of the cabling
machine is to ensure stability; the cabling speed is reduced by a lower speed, that is, the cabling winding speed is reduced, and in the case that the cable speed of the upstream supply is still relatively high, the tension of the cable as a whole at the end is quickly relieved, and then the tension is transmitted to the upstream to relieve and reduce the tension of the cable as a whole, and meanwhile, the speed can be reduced to improve production stability, and the optical cable pay-off reel is controlled to reduce tension, and the tension relief at a higher speed is performed from the pay-off end of the upstream, so that bidirectional tension relief between the optical cable pay-off reel and the cabling
machine is realized, and thus the
stress relief of the optical cable is accelerated, so as to reduce the problem that the tension adjustment is not timely due to the
delay of the tension adjustment of the pay-off reel.
