METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAKING BALANCED METALLIC STRAND

摘要

A finished balanced strand (40) is made from a plurality of filaments (14) by first grouping the filaments (14) each with its correct length using a twisting flyer (16), next setting the grouped filaments (15) using an over twist flyer (23), and finally taking up, post-forming and spooling the finished balanced strand (40) using a double twist buncher means (28). The over twist flyer (23) is positioned outside the double twist buncher means (28) and adjacent the twisting flyer (16).
