Double twist stranding machine

Cabmach, a Mario Frigerio SpA company, has recently designed, fabricated and commissioned a double twist buncher for 1600 DIN reels. The machine has been designed to work at different linear speeds and to minimise installation and maintenance costs. Working with copper, the buncher can be used for flexible strands up to a maximum cross section of 240mm 2 (500mcm) or for unilay round strands of 7 to 19 wires, compressed or compacted, up to a maximum cross section of 120mm 2 (250mcm). Working with aluminium, the buncher can be used for unilay round strands of 7 to 19 wires, compressed or com- pacted, up to a maximum cross section of 150mm 2 (300mcm). Technical developments that make the DTR 160 competitive include: New slip rings eliminate almost 100% of maintenance because contact with the slip ring is by optical fibre cables, not traditional carbon brushes High-speed power transfer, auxiliaries and data transmission signals up to 12 Mb/s Capstan, take-up and traverse inverters are positioned on the cradles and mechanically protected The buncher can be supplied with accessories including a tensioning unit, rotating pre-twister, rotating motorised die holder and payoff systems. • • A single bow system • •
