Laying-up Machine

Similar in principle to a stranding machine, but used for laying-up or twisting together in helical form round or sector shaped insulated cores of a multi-core cable. The cores, with paper, rubber, plastic or textile fillers placed at the interstices, are led from bobbins through the lay plate in a pre-determined sequence and then drawn through a closing die to ensure that a compact circular cross-section is ob­tained.
