The WireTwist 500 from Schleuniger Americas is a programmable machine for twisting multiple single wires. Twisting single wires gives the them higher stability for easier wire routing and improved protection against electromagnetic interference. The machine consists of an electrical drive unit and a compact holding unit. The WireTwist 500 twists pre-processed wires that have been stripped, crimped, or sealed. The final wire length (twisted) depends on wire diameter and pitch length of the twists. Minimum wire length is approximately 18″ (450 mm) and maximum wire length is approximately 79″ (2000 mm). Twisting longer wires up to 197″ (5000 mm) is also possible using a wire guide between the power unit and holding unit. For more product information, go to the Schleunigerwebsite.
