Rotary apparatus for removing a habitual tendency of an electric wire

摘要

A rotary apparatus for removing a habitual tendency of an electric wire according to the present invention, has an electric wire twist removing mechanism for removing a twist of an electric wire while the electric wire is travelling. The electric wire is held by and between two-row roller groups such that the electric wire can travel. A rotary member which rotatably supports rollers of the roller groups is attached to a stationary member in a manner rotatable around an axis along the travelling direction of the electric wire. A drive mechanism rotates the rotary member at a predetermined cycle in the direction opposite to a direction in which the electric wire is twisted, thus untwisting the electric wire. Preferably, the electric wire twist removing mechanism also serves as a mechanism for correcting a bend of the electric wire.
