Abstract
A high-speed binder application device for wrapping binder material about a bundle of buffer tubes that encase a plurality of optical fibers includes a pair of opposite facing binder heads mounted on a pair of hollow shafts, each shaft being driven in rotation by a concentric drive motor mounted about the shaft. Each binder head includes a light-weight synthetic guide drum that dispenses binder material off a reel and onto the bundle of buffer tubes as it is advanced through the hollow shafts. The concentric mounting of the drive motors on the shafts eliminates shaft bending loads from drive belt tension and reduces vibrations at higher rotational speeds relative to belt-driven systems. The light weight and high strength of the synthetic guide drums allows the drums to be rotated at speeds in excess of 4000 RPM.
