Twisting machine is a widely used equipment in the twisting industry production. According to the structure of the body, there are usually several types of twisting machines, such as tube type twisting machine, double twisting machine, frame basket type twisting machine, etc. The twisting machine is composed of main components such as transmission device, twisting body, wire pressing tile device, traction device, safety and parking device, wire winding device, as well as a series of auxiliary machinery such as crane, welding machine, cutting machine, etc. The commonly referred to twisting machine refers to its main body and does not include auxiliary machinery. Twisting machines have several types of machine structures, including basket type, tube type, and non tube type.

Equipment for twisting steel wires into rope strands. The twisting machine is composed of main components such as transmission device, twisting body, wire pressing tile device, traction device, safety and parking device, wire winding device, as well as a series of auxiliary machinery such as crane, welding machine, cutting machine, etc. The commonly referred to twisting machine refers to its main body and does not include auxiliary machinery.

The tube type strand twisting machine twists the strands according to the technical requirements of the steel wire rope for the strands. The twist direction, twist distance, strand diameter, core diameter, and the diameter, tensile strength, toughness number, coating quality, length, etc. of the steel wire used for twisting the strands must meet the specified requirements. Based on this, the rope making steel wire, I-shaped wheel diameter, dividing disc, twist pitch tooth wheel, deformer, pressing tile, etc. should be selected and matched. The selection of the twisting machine should also be carefully carried out to improve the efficiency of twisting.

Before twisting, steel wires should be carefully selected and matched. The diameter, toughness number, coating type, strength grade, etc. of the steel wires used must meet the requirements of the process card to avoid quality accidents of mixed wire diameter, mixed strength, and mixed toughness number. We should carefully determine and adjust the twisting direction, angle, and distance of the strands to avoid quality accidents such as wrong twisting direction and excessive twisting distance. The selection, installation, and adjustment of I-shaped wheels, branching reels, deformers, and wire pressing tiles should ensure the requirements of strand length and twisting quality. The twisting of each layer of steel wire in the point contact strand (see point contact steel wire rope) is carried out separately. The twisting of the line contact strand (see line contact steel wire rope) is completed in one go. The strands in point line contact or line point contact are respectively completed on two twisting machines. The irregular strands (see irregular strand steel wire rope) can be twisted using traditional twisting methods, or can be manufactured using circular section strand compression method.
