Abstract

The apparatus for making a cable by roebling individual rectangular cross-sectioned strands includes two pressing elements, each of the pressing elements extending in a direction (y-axis) perpendicular to the conveying direction (z-direction), engaging different stacks from the top side and bottom side of the cable respectively and being displaceable in opposite directions in a timed reciprocating manner to move stacks toward each other; two nonrotatable pushing members, each of which being mounted on opposite lateral sides of the cable, being structured and positioned to be moveable in another direction (x-axis) perpendicular to and across the conveying direction (z-axis) to displace respective individual strands to adjacent stacks and to simultaneously bend them; a nonrotatable counterabutment member spaced along the conveying direction from each of said pushing members and being mounted to be moveable oppositely to the pushing member associated therewith; a device for adjusting, prior to roebling, a spacing between each of the pushing members and nonrotatable counterabutment members associated therewith; and a hydraulic or pneumatic drive for moveably operating each of the pushing members and the pressing elements and an electronic control device synchronization of the drives.

Claims9

Dependent claims

An apparatus for making a cable by roebling individual rectangular cross-sectioned strands, said cable having opposite lateral sides and top and bottom sides and a rectangular cross-section, said apparatus comprising guide means for a plurality of individual rectangular cross-sectioned strands conveyed in two parallel stacks in a conveying direction, the two stacks being conveyed in lateral contact with each other;

two pressing elements, each of said pressing elements extending in a direction perpendicular to said conveying direction and one of said pressing elements being engageable with one of said stacks from the top side of the cable and the other of said pressing elements being engagable with the other of said stacks from the bottom side of the cable, said pressing elements being displaceable in opposite directions to move said stacks toward each other;
two nonrotatable pushing members, each of said pushing members being mounted on opposite lateral sides of said cable, said pushing members being structured and positioned to move in another direction perpendicular to and across the conveying direction to displace respective individual strands to adjacent ones of said stacks and to simultaneously bend said individual strands;
a nonrotatable counterabutment member spaced along said conveying direction from each of said pushing member and being mounted to be moveable oppositely to the pushing member associated therewith;
means for adjusting, prior to said roebling, a spacing between each of said nonrotatable pushing members and said nonrotatable counterabutment member associated therewith;
and a drive for moveably operating each of said pushing members and said pressing elements and a control device for synchronized timed actuation of the drives for separate displacement of the pressing elements and pushing members to control relative positions of said pushing members and pressing elements during conveying of said two parallel stacks so as to form said cable.
