A skip-closing machine capable of manufacturing steel wire ropes of a unit mass of 50 tons

$15.00

The use of skip-closing machines for production of wire rope as an alternative to the conventional tubular stranding technique is discussed. The development of a skip-closing machine for production of six-strand ropes with a total mass of 50 tons is described. Problems of friction, bow collapse under tension, start-up, deceleration, and strand tension control are considered.
