Abstract
A machine for continuous stranding and cabling, for the manufacture of a cable from single wires, the machine including a stranding battery provided with a plurality of single-twist or double-twist delivery stranding spindles, a double-twist cabling device, which includes means for winding up the cable located after the stranding battery, and two twisters associated with the cabling device. Traction means are provided for the strands and for the cable, with two traction stages, one at the stranding stage and one at the cabling stage. The peripheral or drive speed of the traction means at the stranding stage is equal to or greater than the peripheral speed of the traction means at the cabling stage, whereby the tension upstream of the cabling means is reduced.
