Abstract
An elongated rotating accumulator used for stranding together stranding elements, (KS1) has chambers (KA1-KA4) at least sections of which are inwardly open and in which stranding elements (VS1-VS4) can be fed to a stranding disk (VS) in each case separately from each other.
Claims30
An apparatus for stranding elongated stranding elements, the apparatus comprising:
- a stranding disk;
- a rotating accumulator extending along a stranding axis in a longitudinal direction for feeding the stranding elements to the stranding disk;
- and
- chambers disposed in the accumulator, the chambers extending in the longitudinal direction and being inwardly open radially with respect to said stranding axis to accommodate and guide of the stranding elements.

A method for stranding elongated stranding elements comprising the steps of:
- providing a rotating accumulator which extends along a stranding axis in a longitudinal direction;
- feeding stranding elements over the accumulator to a stranding disk;
- stranding the stranding elements by the stranding disk;
- and
- guiding the stranding elements through open longitudinal chambers in the accumulator which extend in the longitudinal direction and which are radially inwardly open with respect to the stranding axis.
