In rigid stranding processes—one of the most critical phases of multi-core cable and conductor manufacturing—high mechanical inertia must be managed with absolute precision. The solutions we develop as Proton Automation perfectly synchronize the stranding cages with the capstan units, ensuring zero-error production and maximum line safety.

Key Features & Advantages

• Flawless Synchronization via Electronic Gearing: Thanks to our high-precision Electronic Gearing technology implemented between the stranding units, millimetric stranding pitch stability is achieved across the entire line without the need for mechanical gearboxes.
• Error-Free Stranding with Capstan Integration: Instantly and fully synchronizing the stranding cages with the line capstan prevents any deformation in the stranding structure, even during ramp-up, ramp-down, and speed transition phases.
• Regenerative Energy Management & Uninterrupted Safety: During power outages or emergency stops, the high inertial energy (regenerative energy) of the cages is recovered and fed back into the system. This allows the entire line to decelerate and stop in perfect synchronization, completely eliminating wire breakages and scrap material.
• Advanced Diagnostics & Easy Fault Tracking: Our smart diagnostic algorithms instantly detect motor, drive, or communication faults on the field. Pinpoint troubleshooting reduces line downtime to an absolute minimum.
• User-Friendly HMI/SCADA Design: Enables operators to easily manage stranding pitch length, layer counts, and tension parameters through a clean, intuitive interface while simplifying recipe management.
