A method of twisting at least two conductors (3a . . . 3c), in which the referred-to distance (a) is set at an adjustable value before clamping of the conductor ends (2a . . . 2c) in the second jaws (6a, 6b) of the twist application head (4).

Twisting device for electrical conductors has at least one twisting head that rotates about an axis of rotation and a clamping device. The twisting head is movable in the direction of its axis of rotation toward the clamping device and is mounted on a first, motorised length compensation carriage, while the clamping device is mounted on a travel compensation carriage that is movable towards the length compensation carriage parallel to the axis of rotation of the twisting head. After the conductors have been cut to size and transferred to the twisting head and the clamping device, they are placed under tension. Then, the twisting head is activated to rotate about an axis of rotation parallel to the conductors while simultaneously moving towards the clamping device. Simultaneously, the clamping device is subjected to a force directed away from the twisting head and the travel/force profile for the clamping device is evaluated.

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. In a specific application, the Young's modulus of an insulated conducting wire is increased during the twinning process by controlling convective thermal transfer.

A method and a device twist single cables about a twisting axis. The single cables each run along a cable axis and have wires, which are twisted in a strand twisting direction to form a strand, and also each have a first cable end and a second cable end. The first cable ends are held separately by a single rotating unit in each case. The second cable ends are held by a twisting unit. The second cable ends are rotated jointly about the twisting axis counter to the strand twisting direction to produce a twisted cable bundle. During the joint rotation, the first cable ends are rotated separately about a cable axis of the respective single cable, in the same rotation direction as the joint rotation. The single cables are each relieved of torsion thereby.
