Versatile 1+5 Cradle Planetary Strander for Control & Power Cables
Application
This series of products is suitable for the cabling and armoring of
multi-core power cables of various cross-sections,
cross-linked cables, and control systems. It can also be used for
the production of charging pile cables.
Special launch
Large bearing support, a new type of high-speed silk machine, the
main school flow is changed from traditional tugboat support to
large bearing support, supplemented by other methods A series of
improvements have been made to make it higher speed, lower noise,
no maintenance, better performance, and more user-friendly
operation.
Description: Streamline your production with our combined laying-up and taping
solution. This cradle-type machine integrates non-metallic taping
heads directly after the assembling die, allowing for simultaneous
cabling and cushioning tape/lapping tape application—reducing
handling and improving production efficiency.
Cradle type cabling machine is an important equipment for wire and
cable cable forming. It is mainly used for cabling 3 to 6-core
insulated wires, which can be used in round cables with
back-twisting, and stranding fan-shaped cables without
back-twisting. It is also can be used for cabling LV&MV power
cables, control cables, mining cables, and other large-section
cables. It is can be used for non-metal and metal tape wrapping,
steel tape armoring and filling with this machine.
Our company has many years of experience in research and
development of cradle type cabling machine, fully integrated the
cable production process of China first-class cable manufacturers.
We can provide 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000 and other models of cradle
type cabling machine, and can achieve various cabling types such as
1 + 3, 1 + 1 + 3, 1 + 4, 2 + 3, etc.,which effectively broaden the
production range of products. It is the best equipment for mass,
continuous and large-section cables.

5. Why it beats the Drum Twister for your job
You asked about Drum Twisters previously. Here is why the Cradle
is better for your specific 4+1 insulated core job:
Insulation Protection: The Drum Twister provides 0% back-twist.
For large insulated cores, this can cause the insulation to "rope"
or twist. The Cradle’s 100% back-twist keeps the cores flat and
round.
Speed vs. Precision: Drum Twisters are faster but rougher. Cradle
machines are slower but much gentler—ideal for pre-insulated wires
where surface quality matters.
Cost: A Cradle Laying-Up Machine is significantly less expensive
than a Drum Twister of equivalent capacity.
6. RFQ Clause for your Supplier
When asking for a quote, use this precise English description to
ensure you get the right machine:
"We require a Cradle-Type Laying-Up Machine (1+4 configuration)
with the following specifications:
Bobbin Size: PN800 or PN1000.
Application: Laying up 5 insulated cores (PVC/XLPE).
Max Core Diameter: 9.6 mm.
Back-Twist: 100% adjustable on all planetary positions.
Tension Control: Independent, closed-loop dancer tension per
position (0–50N range). Must allow asymmetric settings (e.g., 30N
for 7.4mm cores, 18N for 5.19mm ground wire).
Center Payoff: Stationary, with independent tension control."
