Conductor twisting system and method for loading a twisting head

A tandem system for twisting a first plurality of conductors together and a second plurality of conductors together, comprising:

• a first rotatable twisting head having multiple holders, where each holder is configured to hold at least one of the first plurality of conductors, wherein the rotatable twisting head is configured to twist the first plurality of conductors together into a single cable and configured to rotate the holders into a first receiving position to receive the first plurality of conductors;
• a second rotatable twisting head having multiple holders, where each holder is configured to hold at least one of the second plurality of conductors, wherein the rotatable twisting head is configured to twist the second plurality of conductors together into a single cable and configured to rotate the holders into a second receiving position to receive the second plurality of conductors;
• and
• a shared loading device configured to sequentially load each of the holders of the first twisting head with a corresponding one of the first plurality of conductors and configured to, in tandem, sequentially load each of the holders of the second twisting head with a corresponding one of the second plurality of conductors,
• wherein the first and second twisting heads are in juxtaposition with the shared loading device interposed between the first and second twisting heads.

A method for loading a twisting head with a plurality of conductors, comprising:

• placing, by using a loading device, a first conductor of the plurality of conductors into a transfer position;
• introducing a first conductor of the plurality of conductors into a first free holder of the twisting head located in a receiving position;
• rotating the twisting head such that a second free holder of the twisting head is placed in the receiving position;
• placing a second conductor of the plurality of conductors into the transfer position by using the loading device;
• and
• introducing the second conductor into the second free holder of the twisting head.
