A multi-core cable core aligning device is composed of a temporary holding mechanism, which is configured to arrange tips of a plurality of cores exposed at one end of a multi-core cable in a row along a predetermined arranging direction, and temporarily hold each one of the plurality of cores in such a manner as to be movable along the predetermined arranging direction, a transferring mechanism, which is configured to transfer the plurality of cores one by one while separating the plurality of cores held by the temporary holding mechanism one by one from other ones of the plurality of cores, and an aligning mechanism, which is configured to align and hold the plurality of cores with a predetermined space between adjacent ones of the plurality of cores while holding the plurality of cores transferred by the transferring mechanism one by one at spaced intervals.

A twisted wire manufacturing method for manufacturing a twisted wire, includes hanging U-turn portions of the at least two wires on a wire hanging member, checking one end portions and the other end portions of the at least two wires, pulling up the at least two wires in a state that the U-turn portions are hung on the wire hanging member, twisting the at least two wires together after the wire pull-up step is conducted, and transferring a twist-completed wire produced by the wire twisting step to a twisted wire temporary placement hook which is disposed above the wire hanging member.

The cable coiling device automatically coils heavy-duty electrical cable into a coiled bundle having a predetermined coil diameter. This device matches the over/under coiling method used to manually coil cables that eliminate unnecessary twists and knots in cables. The cable coiling device has a first roller and a second roller that is angularly offset from the first roller. The angular offset adds a twist to the cable as it passes between the rollers. The device maintains the first and second rollers at a predetermined distance away from each other so that the cable does not slip out of the opening between the rollers. When the coil exits the rollers, the resulting cable is coil bundled and has a specific predetermined coil bundle diameter. Guide wheels positioned at specific locations guide the cable through the device, which prevents cable looping before and after the cable passes through the rollers.

A twisting flyer for a single-twist cable stranding machine, which is adapted to rotate about a rotation axis and includes two shoulders connected by crossmembers, and an articulated structure which has in turns a first carriage provided with elements for translation on first of the crossmembers and which supports a guide pulley for a cable, and a second carriage provided with elements for translation on second of the crossmembers, which supports a counterweight for the guide pulley The twisting flyer further includes a first pair of rods which are hinged with one end thereof to the first carriage and with another end to a second pair of rods which are hinged with one end thereof to the second carriage and with another end to the first pair of rods, balancing weights at hinge regions between the first pair of rods and the second pair of rods.
