A system and method for manufacturing wire and cable products with a polymer cable component is provided. The systems and methods include increasing the hardness of a polymer cable component in order to reduce compression and deformation of the cable components during manufacturing. In some instances, the hardness is temporarily increased prior to or during the process of creating twisted pair or during the cabling process.

A method of manufacturing a wet or semi-wet design high voltage or extra high voltage submarine power cable, the method including: a) supplying polymer materials to an extruder from a material handling room, the material handling room fulfilling clean room class 8 or cleaner according to ISO-14644-1: 2015, and b) extruding an insulation system, including an insulation layer, around a conductor in the extruder using the polymer material, the extruder fulfilling the requirements of clean room class 8 or cleaner according to ISO-14644-1: 2015.

A twisting device (10) for twisting or stranding electrical or optical lines (12) to form a line bundle (13). The twisting device (10) comprises at least one first twisting head (15) and a clamping device (25). The first twisting head (15) and the clamping device (25) are spaced apart from each other. The twisting device (10) has at least one detecting device (30) for capturing information indicative of a lay length of the line bundle (13). The at least one detecting device (30) can be moved relative to the first twisting head (15) and the clamping device (25).

A device for processing electrical wires includes a feed-side holding device configured for simultaneously holding all the trailing ends of the wires, an extraction-side holding device which can be displaced along a linear guide direction and is configured for holding the leading end of the wires, and a transfer device for taking over the trailing ends of the wires from a feed device and for transferring the trailing ends of the wires to the feed-side holding device, wherein the extraction-side holding device is configured to twist the respective end of the wires that is held, and wherein the transfer device includes at least two cable grippers, which are configured to assume at least two different distances from each other. The feed-side holding device can be displaced in the extension direction of the wire bundle.

A dual cable alignment apparatus (10) for rotationally aligning assembled cable ends of two cables (3,4) of a twisted cable harness (2), the cable alignment apparatus (10) comprising two clamping jaws (7,8) and a central web (9) disposed between the clamping jaws (7,8). Each of the two clamping jaws (7,8), which can be moved towards one another in the closing direction (s), can clamp a cable (3,4) between the central web (9) and the clamping jaws (7,8). The clamping jaws (7,8) are further designed to be movable laterally past the central web (9) for changing the rotational position by rolling the cable (3,4) clamped between them. The clamping jaws (7,8) can be moved independently of one another in the lateral direction by means of their own lateral drives (16,17), ensuring that each cable (3,4) can be brought precisely and reliably into the desired rotational position.
