Wiring and taping line installation

A wiring installation comprising a taping head which serves to encircle with a tape a stranded cable formed of a plurality of constituent strands, the stranded cable being rotatable about its longitudinal axis and being fed into the taping head along a rotational axis which defines a general unwinding direction in the installation, said taping head comprising:

• an exterior assembly adapted to rotate about said rotational axis and which comprises guiding means for guiding a cable both before and after taping thereof in said taping head, said exterior assembly including an exterior input and an exterior output for a cable, said exterior input and output operatively arranged relative to said general unwinding direction;
• an interior assembly which rotates about said rotational axis, independently of said exterior assembly, and comprising a taping means, said interior assembly including an interior input and an interior output for a cable, said interior input and output operatively arranged in the opposite direction of said general unwinding direction, a taping path located between said interior input and said interior output and operatively arranged relative to said rotational axis but, said taping path oriented in the opposite direction to said general unwinding direction;
• guiding means for guiding the cable from said exterior input towards said interior input and for taking up the cable at the interior output to cause the cable to circulate in the interior assembly in a direction which is opposite to said general unwinding direction;
• a monitoring and control means for connecting said interior assembly to said exterior assembly;
• and
• means for transmitting control and supply signal from said monitoring and control means to said taping means.
