What Is Strander Machine?

ELECTRICAL PLANETARY STRANDER
Planetary Stranders/Cablers are cage type machines with backtwist (fixed or variable). They utilizes the principle of stranding/cabling by minimizing the twisting of bar wire/insulated conductors around their own axis.

How does a tubular Strander work?

The pipe strander can transpose copper wire, aluminum wire or steel wire to form stranded wire. The output end of such a pipe winch is provided with a take-up frame, which transmits the wires wound in the traction take-up and winding device to the take-up device.

What is the need for stranding the conductors?

Basic, reason of using stranded conductor is to make the conductor flexible. If we use a single solid conductor. It does not have sufficient flexibility and it is difficult to coil a solid conductor. Hence, it becomes difficult to transport a single solid conductor of long length over the distance.
