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.
Product Description
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.
