Abstract
A cable puller includes a frame, a capstan mounted on the frame around which a pulling rope is wrapped, and a sensor configured to measure the distance the pulling rope travels relative to the frame. The sensor may be a Hall effect sensor and/or an optical sensor.
Claims20
A gauge device for use with a cable puller, the gauge device configured to measure a distance a pulling rope travels during a cable pull, the gauge device comprising:
- a frame;
- a roller rotatably mounted to the frame;
- a computing module and an output display mounted together in an enclosure, the enclosure operatively mounted to the frame;
- and
- a sensor in operative communication with the roller and configured to provide distance measurement data to the computing module representative of the distance the pulling rope travels relative to the frame during a cable pull, wherein the gauge device is operatively separate from the cable puller.
