Copper Wire bunching

Hello again,

Please see the comment on my first post.
Thank you.

Hi Sam,

Double Twist Bunchers (today really a misnomer since they are mainly used for stranding) are one of the most versatile and productive machines in our industry. They require, however, some rather rigid set-up parameters, starting with the correct wire tension, closing die, lay length etc.

I beg to differ with Peter's sentiment that a double twist machine will produce an inferior product to a single twist machine. That was true 25 years ago, in the meantime double twisters produce perfectly valid 61 wire stranded conductors.

The subject your are addressing cannot be simply answered by a few responses to your questions as there are too many possible variables in the process, starting from the material type, diameter, machine brand, to which standard you wish to produce and more.

I see most Bunching machines rotate the filament around the Payoff or Take-up end. This can make for a very large machine.
Is it possible to perform the bunching process as a standalone, where PO/TU would be totally separated from the physical machine makeup and only needs to supply/receive the filament?
