What Are Cable Manufacturing Machines?

Cable manufacturing machines vary depending on the type of cable to be produced. In general, the machinery used in a cable manufacturing plant can be divided into the following main categories:

1. Wire Drawing Machines

Wire drawing machines reduce copper or aluminium wire rod to the required wire diameter.

  • Copper wire drawing machine

  • Aluminium wire drawing machine

  • Fine wire drawing machine

  • Multi-wire drawing machine

  • Wire drawing line with annealing unit

  • Rod breakdown wire drawing line

2. Twisting and Bunching Machines

These machines combine multiple wires to form a conductor.

  • Double Twist Buncher

  • Single Twist Machine

  • Tubular Strander

  • Rigid Strander

  • Planetary Strander

  • Skip Strander

  • Concentric Strander

  • Steel wire and wire rope stranding machines

Buncher machines are widely used in the production of automotive cables, power cables, flexible cables and fine multi-wire conductors.

3. Insulation Extrusion Lines

These lines apply insulation materials such as PVC, PE, XLPE, LSZH or silicone over the conductor wire.

  • PVC cable extrusion line

  • PE and XLPE extrusion line

  • LSZH extrusion line

  • Silicone cable extrusion line

  • Teflon/FEP/PTFE extrusion line

  • Data and communication cable extrusion line

A typical extrusion line includes a pay-off unit, extruder, diameter control device, cooling trough, spark tester, caterpillar haul-off and take-up unit.

4. Core Twisting and Cabling Machines

These machines bring insulated cable cores together to form a complete cable structure.

  • Double Twist Bunching Machine

  • Single Twist Cabling Machine

  • Planetary Cabling Machine

  • Drum Twister

  • Bow Twister

  • Pairing and Quadding Machines

  • Cat 5, Cat 6 and Cat 7 Cable Twisting Machines

5. Filling and Taping Machines

These machines improve cable roundness, mechanical strength and insulation performance.

  • Polyester taping machine

  • Mica taping machine

  • Aluminium foil taping machine

  • Steel tape armouring machine

  • Filler yarn application system

  • Separator tape wrapping machine

6. Braiding Machines

Braiding machines apply metallic or textile braiding over the cable.

  • Copper wire braiding machine

  • Steel wire braiding machine

  • Textile braiding machine

  • High-speed braiding machine

These machines are used for coaxial cables, shielded control cables and hose-type products.

7. Armouring Machines

Armouring machines provide mechanical protection for power cables and underground cables.

  • Steel wire armouring machine

  • Steel tape armouring machine

  • Aluminium wire armouring machine

  • Planetary Armouring Line

8. Outer Sheathing Extrusion Lines

These lines apply the outermost protective layer of the cable.

  • PVC outer sheathing line

  • PE outer sheathing line

  • LSZH outer sheathing line

  • Double-layer and triple-layer extrusion lines

9. Pay-Off, Take-Up and Rewinding Machines

These machines feed wire or cable into the production line in a controlled manner and collect the finished product at the end of the process.

  • Pay-off machine

  • Take-up machine

  • Cantilever pay-off

  • Portal-type pay-off

  • Gantry take-up

  • Double-head automatic winding machine

  • Bobbin winding machine

  • Cable coiling machine

  • Rewinding line

10. Cable Packaging Machines

These machines prepare the manufactured cable for storage, shipment and sale.

  • Automatic cable coiling machine

  • Cable measuring and cutting machine

  • Bobbin winding line

  • Stretch wrapping machine

  • Shrink packaging machine

  • Automatic labelling machine

11. Testing and Quality Control Equipment

These devices check whether the cable complies with the required standards during and after production.

  • Spark Tester

  • Laser diameter measuring device

  • Insulation thickness measuring device

  • High-voltage testing device

  • Conductor resistance testing device

  • Tensile strength and elongation testing device

  • Cable flame testing equipment

  • Ageing Oven

  • TDR and communication cable testing equipment

12. Auxiliary Equipment

Auxiliary equipment supports the smooth, efficient and uninterrupted operation of the main production machinery.

  • Raw material dryer

  • Granule feeding system

  • Colour dosing unit

  • Chiller and cooling system

  • Air compressor

  • Cable diameter control system

  • Accumulator

  • Caterpillar haul-off

  • Tension control system

  • Bobbin handling and lifting equipment

The basic production process in a cable manufacturing plant is generally as follows:

Wire drawing → annealing → conductor bunching or stranding → insulation extrusion → core twisting or cabling → taping or shielding → armouring → outer sheathing → testing → winding and packaging
