Development of rotating system for closing die of steel wires stranding machine

The stranding machine employed for armouring various types of cables, wires, mechanical control cables, clutch wires, wire ropes, and structural components, including communication cables. It serves for providing shielding to cables, tubes, or liners and finds application in industrial processes for producing electric wires and cables. This apparatus facilitates the manufacturing of mechanical control cables, clutch wires, and wire ropes. This study focuses on the development of a rotating system for the closing die of the stranding machine. A stranding machine is a piece of equipment used in the manufacturing of cable, mechanical motion control cables, clutch wires, and ropes. It twists together multiple strands of wire or fibre to create a single, stronger cable or rope. This process improves the overall strength and durability of the final product. Stranding machines come in various designs and configurations depending on the specific application and materials being used. In this paper, we development of rotating system for closing die of the stranding machine. We have investigated the problems and methods of the current machine to be adopted to resolve the problem. The investigation will result into improvement in quality and surface finish of cable and reduce wastages or losses.
