The introduction of the next generation bow type cabling machine--Jiangsu Hopda Machinery
2025-02-14
In the cable manufacturing industry, traditional stranding equipment like some basic single-axis stranding machines and early-generation multi-axis stranding machines with fixed-structure have long been in use. However, they often face limitations in production efficiency, flexibility, and product quality. This is where the bow-type cabling machine, also known as skip stranding machine or bow-type laying-up machine, especially those produced by Jiangsu Hopda Machinery, comes in as a revolutionary alternative, standing out as a game-changing piece of equipment.
1. Function in Stranding Process
It plays a crucial role in the stranding process. For copper and aluminum conductor stranding, especially for those with a relatively small cross - section (usually below 800 - type), the bow - type cabling machine can twist multiple single - strand conductors together. This results in a more robust and conductive composite conductor. For instance, in the production of power cables, it can combine numerous small - gauge copper wires into a large - cross - section conductor, which is essential for efficient power transmission.
When it comes to insulating wire cores, whether the insulating materials are rubber or PVC, the machine can effectively strand them into cables. In the communication cable field, it enables the formation of communication cables by stranding multiple insulated wire cores, ensuring stable signal transmission.
2. Superiorities over Traditional Machines
Compared with traditional cabling machines, the bow-type cabling machines from Jiangsu Hopda Machinery offer remarkable advantages. Take the common cradle-type cabling machines as an example. The average production speed of cradle-type cabling machines is around 25-30 meters per minute. In contrast, Jiangsu Hopda Machinery's bow-type cabling machines can reach up to 40 meters per minute (Product site:1250mm skip stranding machine for upto 7 core cabling with or without back-twist), significantly increasing production efficiency.

Moreover, Jiangsu Hopda Machinery is the first to launch a 100% back-twist bow-type cabling machine in the industry. (Product site:1250mm skip stranding machine for upto 7 core cabling with or without back-twist), The benefits of 100% back-twist are manifold. It can ensure that the wires are evenly stressed during the stranding process, reducing internal stress in the cable. This not only improves the electrical performance and mechanical strength of the cable but also extends its service life. With separate motor independent frequency conversion control, the adjustment of stranding processes and operations becomes extremely flexible. The main stranding body adopts a co - axial multi - motor combined with a synchronous belt drive, which provides excellent starting and braking control.
Technical parameter
In line with the latest industry trends, Jiangsu Hopda Machinery's bow-type cabling machines are also integrating emerging technologies. For example, the machines can be equipped with smart sensors, similar to the concept of smart cables in the industry. These sensors can monitor the real-time status of the stranding process, such as wire tension, temperature, and speed. This allows for immediate adjustments to be made, preventing potential issues and ensuring consistent product quality. Additionally, in response to the growing demand for sustainable production, the company is exploring the use of eco-friendly materials in the manufacturing of some components of the cabling machines, like biodegradable polymers for non-critical parts, which helps to reduce the overall environmental impact.
The wire-passing guide wheel design makes wire-guiding convenient. The combination of the wire-passing die and the guide wheel adopts a small - angle and low-friction optimal wire-passing method, reducing wire wear and improving the quality of the final cable product. The entire machine is controlled by a PLC program, and the operation console has an intelligent human-machine interface, allowing for comprehensive and flexible function settings.
