The WireTwist 500 is a programmable machine for twisting multiple single wires (e.g. twisted pair). Twisting single wires gives the twisted wires a 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 450 mm (18”) and maximum wire length approximately 2’000 mm (79”). Longer wires up to 5’000 mm (197”) are also possible using a wire guide between power unit and holding unit.

Programming the WireTwist 500 is simple: a clearly structured panel with display allows quick adjustment of revolution speed, number of revolutions (forward and reverse). Parameters can be saved to and loaded from the internal professional memory. This allows processing of different applications with high repeatability and consistent quality without compromising flexibility.
Change-over to different wire lengths and wire diameters is also done quickly and easily. Custom adapters (e.g. for wires with housing) or other special applications can be made according to customer specifications.
