Method and equipment for the treatment and twisting together of a conductor pair

Abstract

A twisting apparatus for treating three conductor pairs at the same time. The leading conductor ends are fed by a first pivotal unit to first automatic devices for treatment and equipping. An extraction carriage then takes over the leading conductor ends and draws the conductors out to the desired length. A take-over module takes over the leading conductor ends and brings these to a twisting head. The trailing conductor ends are taken over by a second pivotal unit and fed to second automatic devices for treatment and equipping. A transfer module takes over the finished treated trailing conductor ends and transfers these to a retaining module. The conductor pair situated between the retaining module and the twisting head is twisted with regulated tension force and then passes into a deposit. At the same time, the leading conductor ends of one conductor pair are treated and equipped, one stretched conductor pair is treated, equipped and transferred and one conductor pair is twisted together.
