2. Highlights & Technical Details
Oil bath lubrication ensures longevity and continuous operation
Sensitive auto-stop system activates upon yarn breakage or run-out, reducing waste and enhancing safety—even unmonitored operations
Variable pitch via gear changes, flexible for adapting to different cable specifications
Frequency‑controlled motor enables stepless speed adjustments and fine control over process rates
3. Typical Variants Compared
| Model | Upper/Lower Spindles | RPM Range | Pitch Range (mm) | Max Diameter | Power | Size (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16AS | 16 + 16 | 10 – 130 | 0 – 100 | 2×0.08–8×0.16 mm | 3 kW | 1800×1540×2400 |
| 24A | 12 + 12 | 15 – 100 | 13.3 – 134.5 | up to 24 mm | 3 kW | 1500×1800×2350 |
These align with “A‑type” double-layer equipment specs from other manufacturers
4. Suitable Applications
Braiding of metal wires: copper, stainless steel, copper–magnesium alloy, glass fiber, polyester yarn etc.
Ideal for signal cables, coaxial cables, audio cables, and power cable shielding where high output and precision are required
Auto-stop and safety interlocks make it useful for modern automated production lines
