❍ Planetary stranding machine from Jiangsu Handing Machinery

cage ranges from six to 36, with a maximum of 96 for armouring. Stranding bobbin dimensions range from 400 to 1,000mm flange diameter for standard machines. Special designs are available with up to 4,500 mm flange diameter. The bearing system with the stranding cage is supported on under-roller bearings. Compact design with the stranding cage is supported by bearings housed in the main drive stand and the outer bearing support stand. Pre-forming heads suit all product construction, while die holders can be electronically or manually adjusted. Cage-type stranding machines can be supplied with the following additional assemblies: lubricating equipment, bitumen and chalk applicators, bobbin loading systems, basket-type cable pay-offs and take-ups, tape applicators and yarn applicators. Double-capstan haul-offs with capstan diameters up to 5,000mm and pulls up to 500 kN depending on machine configuration are designed as brake-controlled haul-offs with integral load cells.

PLANETARY stranding machines with back-twist are used to strand non-rotating cable, or high-tensile or hard drawn round wires. The machines are completed with pay-offs, take-ups, haul-offs, die stands and other ancillary equipment assemblies. Depending on the technological requirement, the machines comprise one or more cages. The bobbins are accommodated in the cages in cradles. The number of bobbins accommodated in each stranding cage depends upon the arrangement of the cages and is tailored to the specifics of the technological requirement. These machines are mainly used for the manufacture of OPGW and fibre optic submarine cable, overhead lines and conductors, armoured cable, signal cable and special cables. Pay-offs are for bobbins with a flange diameter of up to 4,500mm and a capacity of up to 80 tonnes, and are placed between pintles without centre shaft, stationary or traversing type. There is no requirement for a special foundation, driven dancer or drum-fill monitored brake control. For the stranding of profiled wires, stranding cages can be operated without back-twist (0 per cent). The number of bobbins per stranding
