Twin-Spacer Robotic Installations – CSR-18™ ROBOT

Offered in partnership with FulcrumAir, installations of PLP’s CUSHION-GRIP® Twin Spacers utilizing the CSR-18™ robot provide utilities with dramatic improvements in workplace safety, project efficiency, and product application. Using proprietary systems developed by PLP and FulcrumAir, the CSR-18™ robot automatically and accurately installs twinconductor spacers at any preset distance to within a five-centimeter tolerance. The spacers are positioned at precise right angles to the conductor to ensure optimal performance, and the bolt is torqued to PLP’s exact specification. This sequence happens automatically while also logging important quality control data, such as torque values and spacer locations, enabling the utility to easily reference it for future inspection and maintenance needs.

• Reduces lineworker exposure to safety hazards
• Eliminates the need for conductor carts

Project Efficiency
• Dramatically decreases time installing
• Multiple robots deployed from one set-up location
• Installs spacers along multiple spans in minutes

Product Installations
• Installs spacers at precise right angles, ensuring optimal performance
• Accurately torques bolt to exact specifications
• Automatically logs placement data for future inspection/maintenance needs
