Wire crossovers on double twist bunnching

Morning Howar..

machine type: Cook double twist buncher
cable : .010 41 ends with a .750 lay nominal, material is a nickel alloy, and the reel is a 250# metal.
unilay construction. We also have the proper closing die, since we are within the required dimensions.

Thankyou

Greetings from Toronto,

The configuration you are running will not allow for a good final appearance and will always have wires “jumping”. Theoretically the lay-up should be 1+8+13+19 which clearly shows the geometrical instability.

Compounding this is the use of a double twist machine.

The use of a modern single twist machine or tubular strander might help.

I would suggest researching the possibility to change the strand construction and certainly the type of production machinery.

Please contact me should you need further help.

Best Regards,
