METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING COMPACT CONDUCTORS

摘要

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING COMPACT CONDUCTORS A double-twist type compact conductor manufacturing apparatus is comprised of a supply device (2) for supplying strand conductors (12), a conductor twist machine (1), a converging compacting die (4) for converging and compacting a plurality of strand conductors (12), and a capstan (7) having a groove (9) adapted to form a converged compact conductor (8), as well as to send out the same. The converging compacting die (4) and the capstan (7) are disposed between the supply device (2) and the conductor twist machine (1) in that order. This conductor twist machine (1) is a double twist machine (1) for imparting a double twist to the converged compact conductor (8). This configuration of the apparatus serves to prevent not only the deformation of the profile of a twisted wire but also the breakage thereof.
