How many stages has the development of cable drums gone through so far? What is the future development direction?

A cable reel is a device used to store and transport cables. It is widely used in electric power, communication and other industries. With the continuous progress of science and technology, cable reels have experienced decades of development and improvement.

In the early 20th century, cable reels were still in their infancy. At that time, cable reels were mainly made of wood or steel, which had a short service life and limited carrying capacity. With the development of industrialization, the demand for cable reel is higher and higher, so people begin to try to use new materials and new technology to improve the performance of cable reel.

In the 1950s, with the advent of plastic materials, cable reels began to be made of FRP, polyethylene and other materials. These materials have the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, waterproof and moisture-proof, greatly improving the service life and bearing capacity of cable reel.

In the 1960s, cable reels began to be automated. During this period, there were some new cable reels, such as electric reels and automatic reels, which could automatically retract and retract cables, greatly improving work efficiency and safety.

By the 1980s, the structural design and manufacturing process of cable reels had been further improved. With steel as the main material, the new cable reel is manufactured by CNC machining, welding and other technologies, which has higher strength and stability. At the same time, the appearance of the cable reel has also been improved, and a variety of colors and styles have appeared to meet the personalized needs of users.

Nowadays, with the continuous progress of technology, the development of cable reels is also advancing. Using advanced materials and technologies, the new cable reels have higher carrying capacity, better corrosion resistance and longer service life. At the same time, the intelligent degree of cable drum is also improving, which can realize remote monitoring and management through wireless remote control, sensor and other technologies.

In a word, after decades of development and improvement, cable reel has become one of the indispensable equipment in electric power, communication and other industries. With the continuous progress of science and technology, we believe that the performance and function of cable reel will continue to improve, and contribute more to the development of various industries.
