Twinning & Quadding Equipment Photos

When your requirements call for twisted pairs or quadding, the TWD-101 and TD-1930 will perform jobs quickly and quietly with minimal operator experience required. The cradle with tension brakes will support 1, 2, 3, or 4 reels. The on board capstan pulls the wire at a constant speed to insure the proper lay length, and the tension take-up drive will wind and traverse wire on reels up to 24" OD at speeds up to 200 FPM. Optional PLC Touch-screen controls offer extremely accurate lay length control.
