APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING TWISTED PAIR CABLE

摘要

To enable the setting of electric wires and the winding a tape around ends of a twisted pair cable and discharging the completed twisted pair cable without involving waiting time and while saving a space involved in the operations. There is adopted a twisted pair cable fabrication apparatus 1 comprising a first intermittent rotary-member 4 having clamps 3 for fixing one ends 2a of paired electric wires 2 on each of three circumferential surfaces 7 to 9, a second intermittent rotary-member 13 having clamps 5 for fixing the other ends 2b of the paired electric wires 2 and a motor 6 for rotating the clamps in a circumferential direction on each of three circumferential surfaces, and a driving unit for intermittently rotating the first and second intermittent rotary-members by one thirds a full rotation at a time, wherein the three surfaces comprise a paired electric wires setting-plane 7, 10, a paired electric wires twisting-plane 8, 11 and a twisted pair cable tape widing-and-twisting-plane 9, 12.
