Abstract

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.

Claims (19)

1. A method for producing a twisted line with at least two wires, the at least two wires being unwound from at least one take-off spool and are twisted into the twisted line in a twisting unit,

wherein the twisting unit has a first roller and a second roller and the at least two wires are fed to a twisting area between the first roller and the second roller and are twisted together in the twisting area between the first roller and the second roller by rotating the first roller and the second roller in a same direction as each other.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first roller has a conical shape.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a length of lay of the twisted line is set by a longitudinal displacement of at least one roller of the first roller and the second roller.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two wires, after unwinding and before twisting, are fed to a feed unit, wherein the at least two wires run separately through the feed unit.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two wires are fixed after twisting.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein after the twisting, the twisted line is guided through a fixing unit in which the at least two wires are glued together.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one take-off spool rotates.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the twisted line is designed as a UTP line.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method is designed as an endless method.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the twisted line is drawn off by a drawing unit arranged downstream of the twisting unit.

11. A device for producing a twisted line, the device extending along a production direction and comprising:

at least one take-off spool for unwinding at least two wires; and

a twisting unit to which the at least two wires are fed, the twisting unit being arranged downstream of the at least one take-off spool in the direction of production,

wherein the twisting unit has a first roller rotating about a first axis of rotation and second roller rotating about a second axis of rotation,

wherein the first roller and the second roller extend along the production direction, are arranged next to one another and have a twisting area therebetween, wherein the at least two wires are fed to be twisted together in the twisting area into a twisted line, and

wherein the production direction is a direction along which the twisted line extends.

12. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the first roller has a conical shape and the second roller has a cylindrical shape.

13. The device according to claim 11 , wherein at least the second roller is displaceable in and against the production direction for setting a lay length of the twisted line.
