ABSTRACT:
A wire tangle sensor is disclosed for sensing tangled wire in a wire fabrication process prior to being fed into a wire drawing machine so that a tangled wire signal may be sent to a verbal annunciator. A verbal announcement of a tangled wire condition is made for immediate corrective action by maintenance personnel to avoid a production shutdown. The wire tangle sensor comprises a metallic probe positioned in close proximity to a moving wire which touches the wire when it becomes tangled thereby grounding the probe and providing a current path for a switch which initiates the verbal announcement.
