SZ Stranding Line
Product Details
1. Introduction
With the rapid development of optical communications, the amount of optical fiber loose tube cable for outdoor has increased rapidly. However, the capacity of the optical fiber in the loose tube is limited and it is impossible to make the loose tube large. In addition, in order to facilitate the connection identification of optical fibers and the distribution of optical nodes, the number of optical fibers in every loose tube should not be too large. For large-capacity communication requirements, the loose tube can only be twisted into cables according to certain rule.
The stranding of optical fiber cable can increase the number of optical fiber cores to meet the requirements of large-capacity communication. After the loose tube is twisted at a certain pitch, its cable core structure will become very stable, which is helpful for future construction. Because the loose tube is twisted according to a certain spiral angle, the soft performance of the cable is improved. Due to the stranding, the loose tube has a certain stranding radius, which increases the excess length of the optical fiber compared to the optical fiber and improves the environmental resistance of the optical cable.
At present, there are SZ stranding method and one-way (S or Z) stranding method for fiber optic cable. Because SZ stranding has the effect of canceling the stress of cable formation, SZ stranding is mainly used at present.
The so-called SZ stranding is when the stranding element reaches the specified S direction (or Z direction) number of twisted revolutions along the longitudinal axis of the optical fiber cable, and then reverse direction to stranding the same S direction ( Or Z direction) twisting numbers along the Z direction (or S direction). After the same number of turns of twisting, the twisting form of another twisting cycle is restarted. The quality of the SZ stranding process directly affects the performance of the finished optical fiber cable.
The realization of the SZ stranding process is completed by the SZ stranding line. Our company has many years of experience in the research and development of optical fiber cable production equipment. The SZ stranding line can be used for stranding (1～12) core optical fiber loose tube with fast production speed, high production efficiency, stable stranding pitch and other characteristics.

Main Components
This production line is mainly composed of pay-off for optical fiber cable reinforcement, pay-off tension control device, pay-off device for loose tube/filling rope, pay-off device for water blocking yarn , SZ oscillator device, dual concentric binder, jelly filling device, longitudinal tape pay-off device, single head binder device, capstan, take-up tension control device, take-up device and electrical control system, etc.
1. Pay-off for Loose Tube/ Filling Rope
The loose tube / filling rope pay-off device can release multiple loose tubes or filling ropes.
The pay-off and lifting of the reel are driven by the AC geared motor, controlled by the inverter, which can ensure that the pay-off speed is synchronized with the capstan speed. The clamping of the wire reel is realized by the cylinder. The pay-off tension can be adjusted by changing the balance position of the swing arm. The pay-off tension can meet the technological requirements of different tube pay-offs.
2. SZ Oscillator Device
This device is composed of multiple stranding plates , which are driven and rotated by multiple AC servo motors to realize SZ stranding of the optical fiber loose tube.
The stranding angle can be set and displayed on the touch screen. The whole device has eighteen-level drive set. This ensures that the stranding body has a smaller rotational inertia and a faster steering speed. This also ensures that the SZ change direction point is smoother, no straight groove, faster speed.
The device is equipped with a stainless steel safety shield, and the opening angle is greater than 90°, which makes it convenient for wiring or adjusting the core, and safe and reliable operation environment.
The device is equipped with an emergency stop switch. Pressing the emergency stop button in an emergency state can stop the production equipment in a timely manner to ensure personal safety and reduce the waste products.
3. Dual Concentric Binder
The function of the device is to bind the cable core with polyester yarn at the reversal point after stranding to avoid loosening the cable core. The device adopts the double-head concentric pot type yarn binding form, which can ensure the uniformity of the SZ stranding pitch.
The rotation and tension of the yarn are controlled by the AC servo motor, which can run reliably at high speed. The tension can be set on the touch screen and adjusted online. And the tension of the yarn is automatically adjusted with the change of the diameter of the yarn, so as to ensure the constant tension of the yarn. At the same time, the device also has the function of yarn brake alarm and emergency stop.
This device is also equipped with anti-twisting device. The anti-twisting device adopts caterpillar type structure to ensure that the angle of the loose tube will not lost and the stability of the cable core is ensured after the stranding of optical cable.
