The present invention relates to synthetic cables comprising core and splicing threads with high modulus threads, wherein the ends of the cable comprise looped or eyelet splice-type termination ends (1), and wherein each leg of the parallel splicing threads (13, 13′) is connected to parallel core threads (21) at an interpenetration region (12). The method comprises individually connecting each leg of the splicing threads (13) with a positive splice to a core thread(s) (21) of the beginning end of the cable (2); looping; straining all the threads and applying a normal compression force at the interpenetration region (12); applying a protective element(s) (32) along the cable and further individually connecting each leg of the splicing threads (21) to form a negative splice to a core thread(s) (21) of the final end of the cable core (2); and looping, straining and applying a normal compression force (12) on the negative splice at the interpenetration region.

A facility for manufacturing at least first and second assemblies of M1 filamentary elements and M2 filamentary elements, in which each of the first and second assemblies includes a plurality of filamentary elements wound together in a helix, includes an assembling apparatus and a splitting apparatus. The assembling apparatus of the facility assembles M filamentary elements together into a layer of M filamentary elements around a temporary core, to form a temporary assembly. The splitting apparatus of the facility splits the temporary assembly into at least the first and second assemblies of M1 filamentary elements and M2 filamentary elements.

The method allows the manufacture of at least first and second assemblies (26, 28) of M1 filamentary elements and M2 filamentary elements, at least one of the first and second assemblies (26, 28) comprising several filamentary elements (14) wound together in a helix.

The method comprises a step of assembling M filamentary elements (14) together into a layer of the M filamentary elements (14) around a temporary core (16) to form a temporary assembly (22), and a step of splitting the temporary assembly (22) into at least the first and second assemblies (26, 28) of M1 filamentary elements and M2 filamentary elements.

A cable-stranding apparatus includes a stationary guide, a motor, a driven guide, and a controller electrically coupled to the motor. The stationary guide is configured to guide strand elements in a spaced-apart configuration and to pass a core member. The motor is operatively associated with a guide driver. The driven guide is disposed at least partially within the guide driver so as to rotate therewith. The driven guide is configured to receive the strand elements from the stationary guide, individually guide the strand elements received from the stationary guide, and to further pass the core member. The controller is electrically coupled to the motor and configured to control the rotational speed and direction of the motor.

The method for producing a wire element by interlacing at least a first strand and a second strand, during which strand tension control is effected by includes defining an assembly tension set point representative of a state of longitudinal tension to be obtained in the first strand when said first strand reaches the assembly point. The method also includes measuring the actual assembly tension applied in the first strand, said measurement being taken at a first tension measurement point located along the first strand and upstream of the assembly point. The method proceeds with operating a tension regulating member such as a capstan, which acts on the first strand upstream of the assembly point such as to cause the actual assembly tension within said first strand to converge automatically towards the assembly tension set point.
