The method comprises a step (135) of reassembling the first divided assembly (AFI), the second divided assembly (AF2) and the third divided assembly (AF3) to form the final assembly (A).

A method and a device for producing a twisted line comprising at least two wires. The at least two wires are unwound from at least one take-off spool and are twisted in a twisting unit to form the twisted line, wherein the twisting unit has a first roller and a second roller and the at least two wires are supplied to a twisting area between the two rollers and are twisted by turning the rollers in the same direction.

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 cord (50) comprises a single layer (52) made up of N helically wound metal filamentary elements (54) having an outer diameter D, the metal filamentary elements (54) defining an internal enclosure (58) of the cord of diameter Dv. Each metal filamentary element (54) has a diameter Df and a helix radius of curvature Rf. With this cord (50), D, Dv, Df and Rf being expressed in millimeters: 0.10≤Jr≤0.25, 9≤Rf/Df≤30, and 1.60≤Dv/Df≤3.20, where Jr=N/(π*(D−Df))×(Dh×Sin(π/N)−(Df/Cos(αx π/180))) and α is the helix angle, expressed in degrees, of each metal filamentary element (54).

The method makes it possible to manufacture an assembly (A) comprising a layer (C) of metal filamentary elements (14) wound in a helix. The method comprises a step (100) of supplying a temporary assembly (22) comprising a layer (13) of M′>1 metal filamentary elements (14) and a temporary centre (16), and a step (110) of separating the temporary assembly (22) between a first split assembly (25), a second split assembly (27) and the temporary centre (16). The method comprises a step (140) of reassembling the first split assembly (25) with the second split assembly (27) so as to form the layer (C) of the assembly (A).

The invention concerns a method of SZ stranding into one strand a bundle of two or more flexible micromodules, each micromodule comprising one or more optical fibers. A first pulley is located with its winding surface adjacent to a longitudinal axis of a cabling line. The bundle of micromodules is guided over the winding surface of the first pulley, the first pulley being rotating around the longitudinal axis of the cabling line. The rotational speed, or the rotational direction of the first pulley, is alternating.

A stranding machine is provided for producing a cord from a plurality of wires, preferably metal wires. The stranding machine has a stranding device for stranding the wires, including at least one rotatably mounted deflecting roller for deflecting the cord and at least one guide device for guiding the cord. The guide device is arranged in such a way that the cord can be guided on a straight line from the guide device to the deflecting roller in such a way that the cord is pressed against a first flank of the deflecting roller. As the cord is deflected by the deflecting roller, the cord moves from the first flank into the roller base of the deflecting roller.

A method and a device for producing a twisted line comprising at least two wires. The at least two wires are unwound from at least one take-off spool and are twisted in a twisting unit to form the twisted line, wherein the twisting unit has a first roller and a second roller and the at least two wires are supplied to a twisting area between the two rollers and are twisted by turning the rollers in the same direction.

An apparatus for producing an assembly of filamentary elements that are wound together in a helix includes a twisting device, a preforming device, and an assembling device. The twisting device is structured to twist at least first and second filamentary elements individually, such that each filamentary element is twisted separately from another filamentary element, to produce at least first and second twisted filamentary elements. The preforming device, which is arranged downstream of the twisting device, is structured to preform each of the twisted filamentary elements individually into separate preformed helixes, to produce at least first and second preformed helixes. The assembling device, which is arranged downstream of the preforming device, is structured to assemble the preformed helixes into an assembly.
