WireTwist 1000
Programmable Twisting Machine The WireTwist 1000 is a programmable twisting machine for single wires from 0.25 – 2.5 mm² (23 – 13 AWG). Twisting single wires gives the twisted wire (e.g. twisted pair) a higher stability and improves protection against electromagnetic interference.

Function

The standard configuration will accept stripped or crimped wires either with or without seals. Final twisted wire length will depend on the wire diameter and the number of twists required. The minimum untwisted wire length is approx. 315 mm and the maximum length is approx. 4000 mm (157’’). The maximum wire length of the WT 1000 may be extended up to 10 m (394’’).

Special features

  • Simple operation with the key pad and display
  • Forward-/ revers- twist capability with adjustable speed
  • Quick changeover for different length and wire diameter
  • Base frame, height adjustable
  • High flexibility for different applications
  • Wire length check before and after twisting by an integrated, contact-free lengthmeasuring system
  • Reproducible, consistent quality
  • Integrated counters for batch and total pieces
  • Memory to store order parameters

Options

  • Extension for max. 10 m ( 394’’) wire length (wire samples and test recommended)
  • Base frames for base machine and extension units
  • Wire trays for base machine and extension units
  • Special adapters for terminal housings (technical check recommended)
  • Further special solutions available
