Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus and a method for producing a continuously transposed cable (CTC) by using a plurality of motors and a plurality of linear servo actuators instead of conventional apparatus and method for mechanically producing the continuously transposed cable by using a cam in the step of driving a continuously transposing head, which is the core of the manufacturing process of the continuously transposed cable. The apparatus comprises a continuously transposing head including at least four transposing devices; a control part being connected to the individual transposing devices in the continuously transposing head with wired or wireless connections; and a display input part for enabling a user to access and control it, the display input part being connected to the control part with wired or wireless connections, whereby the user can control the operation of the apparatus through the display input part, and continuously the control part can respectively control the individual transposing devices in the continuously transposing head in order to produce the continuously transposed cable.
