In the world of energy cable manufacturing, achieving consistent quality isn’t just a goal — it’s a necessity. One of the most vital components of that quality is the stranding process, where multiple wire conductors are twisted together using high-precision machinery. Whether you’re producing low-voltage household cables or heavy-duty high-voltage transmission lines, the stranding stage plays a critical role in determining mechanical strength, flexibility, and conductivity uniformity.
At Frekans Makina, we engineer cable stranding machines that don’t just meet industrial standards — they elevate them. Let’s explore how our solutions enhance cable quality, reduce operational downtime, and future-proof your production line.
What Is Cable Stranding?
Stranding is the process of twisting multiple wires together to form a single, durable conductor. This is essential in energy cables, where uninterrupted current flow, flexibility, and mechanical robustness are critical performance indicators.
There are several types of stranding methods used across the cable industry, including:
- Concentric stranding
- Bunch stranding
- Segmental and sector-shaped stranding
Each method requires specific machinery configurations, depending on the cable’s size, application, and conductor type.
The Role of Stranding in Product Quality
Quality in cable manufacturing isn’t just about the materials — it’s about process control. Here’s how a high-performance stranding machine contributes to superior output:
✅ 1. Uniform Conductivity
Inconsistent strand positioning can cause resistance fluctuations, which are unacceptable in power cables. Our machines maintain precise tension and lay length control for perfect symmetry.
✅ 2. Enhanced Flexibility
Proper stranding allows the final cable to bend without breaking — essential for installation and long-term performance.
✅ 3. Mechanical Strength
Tightly stranded conductors improve pull strength and minimize damage during handling or laying operations.
Types of Stranding Machines We Manufacture
At Frekans Makina, we specialize in building advanced, modular systems suited for various cable profiles. Our key product categories include:
🔹 Rigid Stranding Machines
Ideal for power cables with large cross-sections. These systems ensure low vibration and high torsional strength.
🔹 Planetary Stranding Machines
Best suited for sector-shaped conductors or armoring applications. Offers flexible lay length control and backtwist options.
🔹 Tubular Stranding Machines
High-speed operation with continuous tension control, commonly used in medium to large conductor formations.
Each model is customizable to meet your production needs — whether you’re manufacturing for IEC, BS, or EN standard compliance.
Key Features of Frekans Makina’s Stranding Solutions
- Fully automated tension control systems
- Real-time diameter and eccentricity monitoring
- Energy-efficient motors and drive units
- High-speed synchronization with pay-off and take-up systems
- Minimal vibration and noise during operation
These features translate into less downtime, lower rejection rates, and more consistent cable quality.
Quality Control Integrated Into Design
Our cable stranding machines are built with in-line monitoring tools that detect:
- Strand tension variation
- Conductor misalignment
- Core overlap or lay errors
With real-time feedback loops, our systems can auto-correct deviations before they affect the final product. This ensures a defect-free stranding process from start to finish.
