ABSTRACT:
An improved wire or fiber strand payoff neutralizer adapted for multi-position application is described, which permits numerous individual strands of wire or fiber that will be formed into a cable to be payed out linearly and uniformly under controlled and regulated tension to the other components of a cabling machine. The present invention utilizes a split shaft, the reel containing the wire or fiber strand being mounted on an arbor portion of the split shaft, and a flyer being mounted on the driven portion of the rotor shaft. The wire or fiber strands then travel from the product supply reel to the flyer and then back to the hollow core of the rotor shaft and thence to the other components of the cabling system. The flyer and the rotor shaft rotate at the same speed as the other components of the cabling system, as well as in the same direction. A direct current-operated stepper motor drive is directly coupled to an encoder, which receives signals from a secondary linear encoder that is in contact with the payed out wire or fiber strand. The direct current stepper motor drive thus controls the fiber or wire payoff from the product reels in order to provide a predetermined tension and twist to the cable assembly.
