Drum stranders and cablers for concentric assembly

The primary components of any Drum Twister lines are; rotating take-ups, rotating pay-offs or, a combination of both.

Depending on application they are manufactured in different designs; Closed cradle, Open cradle (Trunnion), Fork type and Vertical type. Drum Twisters are suitable for the concentric assembly of:

    Insulated conductors
    Screening power cables
    Stranded, round and sector conductors
    Milliken conductors
    Steel wire armouring
    Instrumentation, data and control cable
    Telephone cable

A Typical line for a multi-core power cable (Cabling/Armouring/Screening) consists of:

    Rotating pay-offs (Closed, Open or Fork design)
    Strand block/sector sensing/correcting unit
    Multiple pay-offs to supply armouring/screening wires
    Taping heads (metallic & non-metallic tapes)
    Rotating haul-off unit
    Rotating take-up (Closed, Open or Fork design)

Machine parameters are digitally monitored and controlled via a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a menu driven touch screen so that at each stage the operator is guided to obtain the desired machine operation.
