A system (12) for measuring geometry of a non-circular twisted strand (10) during a stranding process, the system comprising: a pulley (14), for being rotated by linear displacement of the strand (10) induced by the stranding process; a first encoder (16), for measuring the rotation of the pulley (14), thereby measuring the linear displacement of the strand (10); at least one embracing element (36), for embracing a vertex (38) or another zone (48) of the strand (10), for being rotated perpendicular (60) to the longitudinal position (58) of the strand (10), the embracing obtained by the non-circular character of the strand (10) rather than by friction, thereby allowing sliding the at least one embracing element (36) therealong; and a second encoder (20), for measuring the rotation of the at least one embracing element (36), thereby measuring the twist character of the strand (10). |
