<p>MANUFACTURE OF CABLE BELTS The invention relates to the manufacture of a cable belt of a type that includes a plurality of parallel cables embedded in a polymeric compound, the cables extending throughout the length-wise direction of the belt and being spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction of the belt. In the specific cable belt to which the invention relates the longitudinal centerline of the belt differs from the longitudinal centerline of the equipment on which it is to be produced, and the belt cables are tensioned by a tensioner that is positioned between a cable let off and a spacing comb, the spacing between adjacent cables of the belt being different at the tensioner from that at the comb. In order to reduce asymmetry of tension of the cables, the proper edge of the belt is determined along with the effective number of cables from the proper edge at the tensioner. The effective number of cables are positioned to extend from tensioner positions nearest the proper edge to comb positions distributed substantially equally about the longitudinal centerline of the belt, and one-half of the remaining cables of the belt are positioned transversely at the comb an effective number of spaces towards the proper edge.</p> |
