Inside CABMAC Cable Stranding Equipment Manufacturing
In the wire and cable manufacturing industry, the stranding process plays a critical role in determining conductor structure stability, electrical performance, and downstream processing quality.
As a professional manufacturer of cable machinery, CABMAC specializes in the design and production of various stranding machines, including bow stranders, double twist machines, and rigid frame stranding machines, serving power cables, control cables, communication cables, and special cable applications.
This article provides an overview of the production process and operational principles of CABMAC stranding machines, offering insight into how reliability and performance are achieved.
1. The Role of Stranding Machines in Cable Production
A stranding machine combines multiple single wires into a uniform conductor by twisting them at a defined lay length and direction. A well-controlled stranding process ensures:
▪ Improved conductor flexibility and fatigue resistance
▪ Consistent electrical characteristics
▪ Stable performance in subsequent extrusion and wrapping processes
From the design stage, CABMAC focuses on tension control, speed synchronization, and long-term operational stability, enabling our machines to meet diverse production requirements.

2.1 Machine Frame and Structural Components
Machine stability begins with a robust structure. CABMAC stranding machines are built using high-strength steel frames, processed through welding, stress relief, and precision machining to ensure rigidity and alignment during high-speed operation.
2.2 Assembly of Core Components
Key systems include:
▪ Pay-off system
▪ Stranding unit
▪ Haul-off system
▪ Take-up system
Each component is carefully assembled and aligned to guarantee smooth rotation and consistent tension throughout the production process.
2.3 Electrical and Control System Integration
Depending on customer requirements, CABMAC stranding machines can be equipped with high-quality electrical components and PLC control systems, enabling:
▪ Synchronized speed control
▪ Closed-loop tension regulation
▪ Operational monitoring and fault alarms
3. Operation of a Stranding Machine

During operation, the stranding process follows a stable and continuous workflow:
▪ Pay-off – Single wires are released smoothly from the pay-off units under controlled tension
▪ Stranding – Wires are twisted together at the preset lay length and rotation direction
▪ Haul-off – The caterpillar or wheel-type haul-off ensures stable line speed
▪ Take-up – The finished conductor is evenly wound for further processing or shipment
CABMAC stranding machines are designed for low vibration, low noise, and high consistency, making them suitable for continuous long-term operation.
4. Advantages of CABMAC Stranding Machines
