The invention relates to a method of continuously fabricating a coaxial cable in which ring-shaped corrugations are imparted to a conductor of the cable in a corrugator. The corrugator is made to operate at constant speed.
Claims27
A method of continuously fabricating a coaxial cable in which corrugations are imparted to a conductor of the cable in a corrugator, wherein the corrugator is caused to operate at constant speed.
Apparatus for continuously fabricating a coaxial cable, the apparatus including both a corrugator to impart corrugations to a conductor of the cable and control means therefor, wherein the control means are arranged to cause the corrugator to operate at constant speed.
A method of continuously fabricating a coaxial cable, the method comprising the steps consisting in:
- at at least one drive station driving a portion of the cable at a drive speed;
- and
- in a corrugator, imparting corrugations to a conductor of the cable;
- wherein the drive speed is adjusted as a function of a corrugator speed.
Apparatus for continuously fabricating a coaxial cable, the apparatus comprising:
- a corrugator for imparting corrugations to a conductor of the cable;
- at least one drive station for driving a portion of the cable;
- and
- control means;
- wherein the control means are arranged to control a drive station speed as a function of a corrugator speed.
