Cage Stranding Machine

Configure a cage for conductor stranding or wire armour. A cage strander carries multiple wire packages around the cable path. The cage size, bobbin arrangement and supporting equipment are selected for the actual conductor or armoured cable construction.

FAMILY REFERENCE

Cage-stranding family

Use the equipment family to establish the process fit.

PROJECT SPECIFICATION

Confirm the operating range

The quotation will define dimensions, operating values and equipment scope for your supplied construction.

Conductor stranding and steel-wire armour can use the same cage-machine principle at different sizes and configurations. Confirm each build against the cable drawing.

04

Select around your actual product

01 / SELECTION

Identify the operation

Start with conductor stranding, core lay-up or steel-wire armour. These duties require different size and package checks.

02 / SELECTION

Define the cage loading

Provide the number of wires, individual diameters, input bobbin dimensions and package weights.

03 / SELECTION

Check the finished construction

Send the cross-section, centre-core diameter, required finished diameter, lay and direction.

04 / SELECTION

Integrate the auxiliaries

Specify central pay-off, taping or filling, haul-off and take-up so the cage can be reviewed as part of the complete process.

05

Define what your quotation includes

  • Cage size, bobbin count and approved loading arrangement.
  • Central pay-off and individual package/tension requirements.
  • Any taping or filling operation in the agreed route.
  • Haul-off, take-up, controls, utilities and installation layout.

State whether this is a new line, an additional machine or an upgrade. Include existing equipment interfaces so the offer covers the connections that matter.

07

Questions before choosing this machine

Can a cage strander apply steel-wire armour?

Yes, a suitably sized cage strander can be configured for steel-wire armour. Cable diameter, armour-wire count, bobbins and lay must be checked for that duty.

Can the conductor configuration be reused unchanged for armour?

It should be reviewed first. Armour may require a different cage size, central cable handling and take-up arrangement.

What determines the number of bobbins?

The conductor or armour construction determines the number of supplied wires or cores. Send the cross-section and package requirements to establish the arrangement.
