Single and double twist
machines for automotive cables
Lesmo’s single twist machine (MTO) from 400mm up to 2,000mm is a flexible machine
that can work as a payoff or take-up. Its smooth deviation makes it an ideal machine for
the production of cables for the automotive sector.
The most common uses for the single twist machine include:
• Smooth bunching of flexible copper and aluminium conductors, usually of 400mm
to 630mm take-up size
• Laying-up of fine insulated conductors and LAN cables (with or without in-line
taping and binding head for applying screening, taping and binding) usually of
800mm to 1,000mm take-up
• Roping of flexible conductors, multi-wires or pre-bunched, usually of 1,250mm to
1,600mm take-up
• Laying-up of control and instrumentation cables (pairs, triples and quad) usually of
1,250mm to 1,600mm take-up
• Screening with copper or aluminium wires and armouring with steel wires, usually
1,250mm to 1,600mm take-up
Lesmo can supply single twist take-up with back twist payoffs for unwinding the central
core or a number of insulated cables, either a drum twister (close cradle and fork type),
or a single and double twist back twist.
The double twist back twist payoff offers a solution for the production of automotive
cables, instrumentation, control cables and LAN, allowing the unwinding varying
numbers of cables without the limitation on speed of the single twist take-up. Officine
Meccaniche di Lesmo has been a well-known brand in the wire and cable field since
1962.
