ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for making a twisted cable of unlimited length. The apparatus which is operative for performing the method includes a rotating reel having a group of wires or filaments wound thereon, a flyer which rotates around the reel for unwinding the group of wires or filaments therefrom, and a gathering assembly rotating with the flyer for gathering the individual filaments or wires from the group and twisting them to form a cable. The apparatus further includes a take-up assembly for drawing the cable from the gathering assembly and winding it on a take-up reel, and a control assembly for controlling the rotational speed of the flyer relative to the rotational speed of the reel to achieve a substantially uniform length of twist in the cable throughout its extent. After the original group of filaments or wires has been unwound from the reel, it is possible to wind a second group of filaments or wires onto the reel and to individually connect or weld the filaments or wires in the second group to those in the first group so that the different welds are located in longitudinally spaced positions. Thereafter, the second group of filaments or wires can be twisted to form a cable of extended length.
