a single-wire diameter ranging from 0.05 to 0.3mm (40-28 AWG) as well as artificial yarn and fibers. With an integrated central tapingdevice, thebraidingand subsequent taping processes are completed in one step. The D 1001 type single-bow double twist bunching machine is designed for the manufacture of strands of up to 50mm² (1/0) cross section for copper and up to 60mm² (3/0) cross section for aliminum conductors with a lay length of up to 300mm (11.8") and a maximum rotational speed of 3,200 twists/min. Due to their one-bow design, the D series machines’ energy consumption and noise emission are reduced when compared to conventional bunching machines.
