A tubular strander machine is a type of equipment used in the cable and wire industry for the stranding process. It is designed to strand multiple wires or conductors around a central axis to create a cable or rope. The tubular strander machine offers high-speed and efficient production capabilities, making it suitable for various applications.
Here are some key features and specifications of a tubular strander machine:
Rotating Speed: Tubular strander machines are capable of reaching high rotating speeds, typically up to 650 revolutions per minute (rpm).
Pitch Adjustment: These machines often have pitch infinite adjustment capabilities, allowing for precise control over the stranding pitch. This adjustment is typically done using a programmable logic controller (PLC).
Motor and Electric Components: Tubular strander machines are equipped with high-quality components from reputable brands. This includes Siemens motors, Schneider electric components, and Inovance inverters.
Control System: The control system of a tubular strander machine is typically based on Siemens PLC and human-machine interface (HMI). This enables operators to pre-set the stranding pitch, control wire tension, and synchronize the speed with the take-up unit.
Bearing Selection: These machines offer the flexibility to choose from various bearing options, such as NSK, FAG, SKF, or HRB bearings.
Concentric Wrapping: Some tubular strander machines may also feature a concentric wrapping machine, which helps in achieving uniform and precise stranding.
