Cabler, Flyer Arm Type

This type of cabler imparts one twist into the strand or cable for each revolution of the rotor. The wires coming from the payoffs pass through a lay-plate(s) and are placed in the desired geometrical position. The strand enters the entry rotor shaft and passes over the rotor assembly (flyer) and then to the take-up reel, which is coaxially aligned to the rotor assembly. The flyer rotates around the take-up reel at a speed slightly different than the rotational speed of the take-up reel. The speed differential results in the actual lay of the strand. For larger reels the flyer arm is closed, whereas on smaller reels it is cantilevered.
